Although we had been out-of-touch for several years, Ann was a treasured friend and colleague. She was also a godmother to my youngest son, Joel. I am so saddened to hear of her death. The world will be a bleaker place without her cheery spirit. She was greatly loved by my family and me.

Ann was a lovely and talented lady who generously shared here skills in art, music and geology. Her love of rocks and sense of adventure was always evident. The slate she salvaged and taught me to turn into an etched piece of art in our St. Luke's UMC Studio 3 art group will always remind me of our times together. She will be greatly missed.
