I knew through Horticultural classes and working and garden center. She was always a smiling face. Sorry to hear see is gone. Prayers for family and friends. You will be missed.
Ann was my sister and best friend. We are so grateful for all your kind comments and happy to know more about her life and friends.
Thank you!
Dear Ruth and Elaine and Family.
It is with great sorrow that I hear of Ann's death. She was so caring for all of you, and as a fellow prayer, you were all in our prayers often. She was talented with her art, and passed her drawing abilities on to students at McClintock, along with many other ideas that she thought the young ladies could learn. She really cared about those young students, and we had some fun and some challenges together. I pray for you to have peace and strength at this time, dear family. Be strong as Ann was for you.
Peace and love to you,
Rosemary Goodall
To you, Ann's family, whom she loved dearly and spoke of often.
I met Ann shortly after she started visiting Christ Lutheran. We sat next to each other one Sunday and, in conversation, I invited her for dinner. My youngest daughter was home from college (it was Christmas break) and her fiance' was visiting. Ann came with a big plate of homemade
cookies which we all enjoyed and we had a great visit. My daughter, Kristin, and her now husband, Will, both commented on how much they enjoyed meeting Ann. We had a really
nice evening with good conversation.
I started using Ann's help when she started her landscaping business. I don't have a big yard as I live in a townhouse but she planted azalea's, hollies and gardenia's for me and a special small
tree called Piers 'temple bells'. Every time I look at that plant, I think of Ann. I love it!
I am truly going to miss her. When she would come to do yard work we would talk and talk. She talked mainly about her family and it was obvious how much she loved all of you. She was a wonderful person and Heaven now has another special angel.
Praying for you that you may feel God's peace as you go forward.

To Ann's dear family,
Sending our sympathy and love to all of you. Ann spoke of you often and always counted the days until her next trip to Michigan for a visit. She was such a wonderful person and was an active member of Christ Lutheran. Ann sat with us most Sundays and she always wore her warm smile each week. Ann designed and planted a lovely rose garden for us and Ed was her co-worker with the digging. We were amazed at how strong she was and she gave us an education about our soil.
She will be greatly missed at Christ Lutheran. We are sad but we rejoice in the promise of the resurrection as we know Ann did and we look forward to seeing her again.
We are remembering you in our prayers at the loss of Ann and the shock of her sudden death.
In sympathy,
Janet & Ed Ernst
To Ann's family,
I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved Ann. She and I became friends several years ago, after I had surgery and she signed up to bring me a meal. Ann had no trouble telling me her cooking was not that great and we quickly made plans to eat out! What a delightful talker she was, and so interesting! I had her re-do my front yard in time for my daughter's wedding in May of 2004. The landscaping she did brought many lovely comments from those who saw it. Ann had a faith that was unquestionably strong and positive. She was confident in her belief in God and shared that confidence quite easily. She will be missed. I feel I am a better person for having known Ann and will always have a hole in my heart until we meet again. May God continue to bless and comfort you in this very difficult time.
Peace,
Donna M. Hanna
To Ann's Family:
So sorry for your loss... met Ann earlier this year with our singles group here at Christ Lutheran and she loved talking about her work in gardening, her niece, and showing off her creative studies of flowers and painting gifts for her family and friends. She was a dear soul and she will be missed by our group.
It was fun meeting her and we attended several SALT events, Wednesday's together dinner and bible studies together.
My condolences to all,
Lisa Sordi
Dearest Ruth, Elaine, Steven and family,
I cannot even think of the last time I saw Ann, but have some good childhood memories of her. You are in my prayers during this time of farewell to such a dear loved one. May God our heavenly Father give you comfort in this Easter season of resurrection hope. Steve
