I always enjoyed visiting with Ann when I walked down the street--she kept me up to date with events on her end and I told her what I knew about my end--she was always so generous with giving me flowers when I commented on how pretty something was--she was a true joy to be around and will be missed.

I was saddened to hear of Ann's passing today. I lived across the street from her for 12 years. Although I moved away many years ago, I would continue to catch up with Ann when I was back on the street tending to my property. Ann was the neighbor everyone needed. She knew exactly what was going on at all times and was quick to check-in on neighbors. My condolences to her family.
Ann stopped to welcome me to the neighborhood on my move-in day Oct 31, 2018. I am 72 and she said she was glad to see an older person moving in. We talked fairly frequently since that time mostly while I walked my dog...but occasionally in Kroger on Summer. I lost my dog in mid May and haven't see her during walks but she did stop her car if see as she drove down the street and I was outside. I was blessed to have known her.
Anne visited my mother faithfully until her passing. I appreciated her many phone calls, cards, and visits. She was an inspiration to me for her never ending kindness and service to others. She will be missed
