This memorial website was created to honour the very special memory of our beloved mother, Mary Anne Ammaratnam who was born in Jaffna, Sri Lanka on March 25, 1919 and passed away on September 22, 1990 at the age of 71. She left behind her loving husband of 43 years and her three precious children, seven grandchildren and two great grand children. Mummy lived a full and happy life.She loved her children and grandchildren, and we all loved and adored her. She lived her life for Jesus and her family. She touched all of us with her beautiful smile and her gentle touch. Though none of us were ready to let her go we all knew she was going to paradise to be with Jesus, and we take comfort in knowing she is no longer suffering but free to walk the gardens of heaven. She is no longer in pain no longer suffering from the cancer that took her away from us.Although her earthly existence is no more, her memory, her legacy, her life, will live and remain in our hearts eternally. This site was also created for everyone to come to and remember Periacca/Periamum/Mummy/Grandma, all memories that are shared will be saved forever so that one day when all of us get older we can come here and read all the wonderfulmemories that we all have and they (especially our children) will know what an awesome lady she was. Dear family, friends, and visitors, The family of Ponniahs also want to personally thank each and everyone of you for the beautiful comments that have been posted. The purpose of this website is to show how special Mary Anne Ammaratnam is and how many different lives she has touched. Please continue to share your tributes and candles to Ammaratnam, so that everyone can continue to see the amazing person that she will be remembered for.
