I was Ann's hairdresser for several years when she lived in Point Loma and she was always one of my favorites, a wonderful person, caring, giving and fun to talk to. Even though I had not talked to Ann for several years, I often thought of her and how she was doing. To Ann's family; hold on to those wonderful memories of her. I know she will be missed. Blessings to her family. Dee Thurber

I worked with Ann for more then 10 years at Barnes Hind Hydrocurve. I was the supervisor in the credit department and she worked on the second floor in order entry. Ann was a good woman with the highest ethics and character. She was also quite the character. Ann always dressed to the nines and was a fashion icon before there were fashion icons. I had to deal with Ann often when my department wanted to hold an order (because the account needed to clean up their credit standing with the company) and Ann always wanted to ship every order to keep the customers happy. It was a pleasure working with Ann and I'm sure your family misses her greatly.
