Anna Mae Wagler, the founder of Anna Mae's bakery and restaurant in Millbank, Ontario, has passed away at age 74 after fighting cancer. She started small back in 1978, selling homemade pies right from her driveway to support her family while her husband faced health. Challenges. That simple idea caught on fast, leading her to open a bakery on Perth Line 72 in 1991, where it grew into a beloved midnight, spot known for fresh baked goods. The news hit hard in the community, with thousands sharing memories online, and local spot sending tributes that highlight her kindness and drive. Her story shows how one person's grit turned a rural dream into a lasting tradition, and the bakery plans to keep serving those same recipes she loved.
