Sorry to hear, just now ran across the obituary. Ann was a sweet friend we knew from Plainfield Christian church- then later when we lived in neighboring counties- we run into her while shopping at the mall- also went to visit she and Woody in their home a couple times. Wonderful people. Joe and Joyce Peden
