She's someone you think of when you talk about love. Someone that was truly a blessing from above. The love that she had was felt in her smile. Love so inviting it made you want to stay a while. She was giving, loving, unselfish, and kind. Dependable, trustworthy...like no one else you'll find. She was a daughter who's parents felt her love til the end. Their constant companion and her mom's best friend. She was a sister like no other you'll see today. Giving freely of herself in so many ways. She was a mother who was there for all of her boys. To help them through struggles and celebrate their joys. She was a wife who found joy in what she provides. A welcoming home filled with love inside. She was a grandma who spoiled just as she should. With surprises, treats, and all things that are good. She was an aunt who would babysit or cook you food. Doing whatever she could to put you in a good mood. She was a friend who would be there night or day. One who always knew just what to say. Some knew her by Ann, Anna Jane, Grammie, or Mom. Others by Aunt Ann or Sis and the list goes on. But no matter the name one thing is true, She was a very special person to each of you. Although she was called home so suddenly, There is one thing she would want everyone to see. She may not be here, but we won't be apart. Because her love will be with us right here in our heart.

Ann was truly an angel God gave us on this earth for 71 years. She was the most caring, giving, loving, and unselfish woman I have ever met in my life. Ann was my sister-in-law, but she was the sister I never had, and my best friend.
