Bronze plaque installed on the cliff at Grande-Anse cemetery.

Having always loved Haute-Mauricie, her last words were, “Take me back to Canada”. Of all her fisheries, Grande-Anse was always her favourite. She passed away on May 25, 1969 in Arizona.

You can still gather to pay your respects at “Le rocher Anne McCormick” in Grande-Anse. This cemetery is home to a single urn containing Anne’s ashes, immortalized in a granite cliff. A commemorative plaque covers the urn and reads  “Courage, Fortitude, Beauté”.
