What a special lady! Ann was the cul-de-sac neighbor of my husband's grandmother, a special friend to her. We had the privilege of becoming her neighbor and friend as well. I still see her pruning her flowers along the driveway and fussing about the deer wreaking havoc on her plants. She was truly a light, a special soul that will be greatly missed. We loved her like family. Maria, Lisa, and all of Ann's lovely family, we are so sorry for her passing.

Ann was a wonderful neighbor and sewing mentor....we loved sharing stitching stories. While people considered me a professional for having my design business for more than 40 years...Ann was the real deal designer. My sympathies and my heart are there for all the family and those who morn her loss. Love to you all.

To Ann’s family-
Ann was a precious friend, neighbor, and mentor for me at St. Mark’s. She was a strong, effective Christian—and a talented, wise, and funny lady. I wish God’s comfort to you and all who mourn her passing.

Lisa, Maria and the rest of Ann’s family. I am so sorry. Ann was a bright spot in my life and many others. She was wonderful in providing humor through her honesty and certainly helped me to not take myself and many things so seriously...such a gift from her!
I love her and love her family and my prayers are with all of you!
Rest well in love and peace sweet Ann.
