Ann had one of the greatest smiles I have ever seen. When I think of her, and I often do, I see the smile and hear her laugh. I know her wonderful family is missing her very much. Love, Sonia Prauser

Oh my, what a loss to this family. Ann was the one who always kept up with everyone to record all the births and marriages. I loved hearing her stories about when all the cousins were young and playing at the beach. What a great gal! My sympathies to Bob, their children and all the grandchildren she loved to brag on!

I was very saddened to hear of Ann's passing away, but happy for her new life in God's Heaven. Ann and I go all the way back to Whittier, Paul and Coolidge schools together, although she was a year behind me and in my sister, Joy's Class. I remember well Ann's house in the 300 block of Rittenhouse St., NW and I used to kid her all the time about the "awful distance" that she had to travel to get to Whittier and to Coolidge. Ann worked so very long and hard on our combined 1950/1951 35th/36th Coolidge Class Reunion, held at Indian Spring CC in 1986. That was one of the best, if not THE BEST, CCHS Class Reunions EVER HELD and it was due mostly to the efforts and hard work of one Ann Graninger Ford. I know because Ann telephoned me constantly to gather information on my 1950 Class. Ann Graninger Ford was one of the most beautiful and lovely young persons/girls/women/ladies to ever grace the halls of our beloved schools. And, as her family knows only too well, Ann was a caring and loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, in every sense of the words. Ann left her "mark" in this world and she will be greatly missed by all of us that were lucky enough to know her. My love and my prayers go out to Ann and to her family. Tom Sheelor

Rich and I would like all of you to know just how much we loved Ann...I keep remembering all of the Christmas Eve parties that Ann and Bob hosted over many, many years. It was certainly a highlight for our entire family and when Mark and Lee were little, it was the sign that Christmas Day really was right around the corner...the height marks on the basement door were not only copied at our house Bob, but Mark's as well when he became a father...so Thanks For the Memories and all of your phone calls Ann to see how our family was doing. I know you've joined not only your parents, but mine as well...what a grand party we're all missing down here !!! Much Love, Kathy and Rich Hajjar
