I got to know Ann through many years of IPS/IEA negotiations. We became friends even though we were on different sides of the table. I appreciated her kindness and sense of humor throughout the process of negotiating. I am so sorry to hear of her loss, as well as that of her husband.

Ann Wilkens was a champion for teachers. I knew her from my years in IPS. Ann was the voice for teachers who needed someone to speak on their behalf. She was intelligent, funny, courageous, and lived for the Lord. Ann used to bring her daughter, whom she adored, to my church for "Trunk or Treat" and for our annual Easter Egg Hunt. I will miss her more than words can ever express.
