Ann Elizabeth Pougnet October 25, 1964 – September 27, 2026
After battling numerous forms of cancer over the past 17 years, we sadly announce that Ann Elizabeth Pougnet’s battle ended peacefully at Juravinski Hospital on Sunday, September 27th, 2026 at the age of 61.
Anyone who met Ann quickly learned that she was a force of nature in her strength and resilience. She will be dearly missed by her friends, family, and the many diligent healthcare professionals she had throughout her challenging life.
Ann is survived by the father of her children, Don Pougnet (Hamilton); her sisters, Julie O’Sullivan (Middleton, Ireland) and Deborah Richardson (Southport, England), and her brother, David Copson (Southport); her four children, Danielle Pougnet-Misale (Thorold), Adam Pougnet (Balderson), Andrew Pougnet (Brantford), and Richard Pougnet (Halifax); and her much-loved grandchildren, Oliver, Isabelle, Mackenzie, Lyla, Vayda, and Molly.
Predeceased by her father, Paul Copson, and her mother, Maureen Dawson of Southport, England plus her sister, Helen Howard (also of Southport).
Family, friends, and valued acquaintances are invited to attend a Celebration of Life in memory of Ann at M.A. Clark and Sons Funeral Home in Hamilton on Saturday, October 3rd from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Victorian Order of Nurses (VON) who provided such excellent care to Ann when her health was ailing.
