Elizabeth “Ann” Dinsdale, 76, of McKinney, Texas passed away on November 5, 2021, in McKinney Texas after her courageous battle against cancer. She was born in Montreal, Quebec Canada to Allan and Elizabeth Watt on October 14, 1945. Ann graduated in 1967 from Marianopolis College in Montreal, Quebec. She worked as executive assistant for Magellan Property Management for many years. Ann married Henry Ernest Dinsdale III on August 21, 1971, in Montreal, Quebec Canada and just recently they celebrated their 50th Anniversary. Ann and Ernie moved to Richardson, Texas in January of 1981 for a job opportunity for Ernie. They lived and raised their children in Richardson until they moved to McKinney in 2005. Ann and Ernie would spend summers back in Canada at the Dinsdale family home “Tabae” until the birth of grandchild William Henry in 2016. Ann enjoyed playing cards with her friends and was given the nickname “The Nice One”. She most enjoyed being a grandmother to William and Landon.
She is survived by her husband, Henry Ernest Dinsdale III; children, Leslie Dinsdale Henry and husband, Adam, Matthew William Dinsdale and wife, Jeannie; brother, Barclay Watt and wife, Danielle; sister, Patricia Watt and husband, Jean-Claude; grandchildren, Landon Henry and William Henry; nieces, Emily Valle Watt, Madeleine Valle Watt, Elizabeth Pitre, and Sumei Pitre; and many cousins and close friends that will miss her dearly.
Ann was preceded in death by her parents, Elizabeth Watt and Allan Watt.
Ann will be laid to rest at St. Francis of the Birds Cemetery in St. Sauveur, Quebec in the summer of 2022. A celebration of her life is being organized and will be held at Canyon Creek Country Club in the near future. The Dinsdale family will provide details once they have been set.
The family of Ann Dinsdale wishes to extend our sincere thanks to Dr. Rizvi at Texas Oncology, nurses, and doctors at Medical City McKinney. We would also like to thank the staff for the care she received at Baybrooke Village Care and Rehabilitation in McKinney, Texas. The family suggests memorial donations be made to the American Cancer Society.
Thank you, The Dinsdale Family
