Worked with Fann at the Extension Service for many, many years, & even after she retired as she was on the retirees board for years. She certainly had a full life. Prayers of comfort go out to her family. Very sorry to hear of her passing.

My condolences to the family. I had the pleasure to be a young Extension Agent during the last year of Fann’s tenure as a Specialist. I learned so much in that year about family financial management both as an educator and for my personal finances. She was a true treasure and I continued to look to her as a mentor in Epsilon Sigma Phi and other Extension retiree activities. Those that knew her never forgot her.
