st
at 10AM. Ann or Annie as she was called by her many friends is preceded in death by her husband, Richard. She is survived by her son David (Nancy), daughters, MaryAnn (Bruce), Linda (Allan), and Susie, and her sister Blanche. Annie retired from the Madison School District in 1994; however, she continued to always keep the “entrepreneurial spirit” within herself by investing in real estate throughout much of her life. Although she greatly enjoyed her many travels with her daughters to Italy, Germany, Paris, the Butchart Gardens, Victoria, Canada, and Hawaii, there was no question that her true love was spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, this truly was her most favorite time. No words can say how much we shall miss this gracious and loving Mother. In lieu of flowers the family request to please make your donations in Ann’s honor to Hospice of the Valley: hov.org
