Ann Armstrong

I had a reminder on Facebook that it was Ann´s Birthday today. Anna was an inspiring friend in Master Gardeners and was always so supportive and kind. She was some one I will always remember fondly......

I shared gardens, garden trips and stories with Ann for many years, and loved every minute of her companionship. Visiting her and Bev in their Charlotte home, and having Ann and her friends with me in gardens around the world - well, how fortunate we all were. She shared her accomplishments (there were many), her stories (oh my!) and her humor (we laughed out loud) and we were all the better for having Ann in our lives. We all miss you. Allan

Torrey and Bruce: I am just now learning about your mother´s passing. Ann and I were neighbors in Villa 1 at The Sharon (new name). We shared a love of cooking and cookbooks. She was a force and she is and will be missed. Please know you have my heartfelt sympathy on your loss. May her memory be a comfort. Carole Bourret

I was so blessed to have my Mom, Ann Armstrong. Although growing up we often butted our heads in the long run she taught me unconditional love, strength, cooking, horticulture and love of books. A very accomplished woman who left beauty and sharing all her knowledge with people she met. Fly free Mom, all disease and pain is gone There is lots of love for you on this earth and in heaven where you will be with the loved ones that went before you, your daughter, Thank You, Torrey

Ann was a wonderful friend, garden mentor and inspiration. I will always remember the many wonderful dinners with her and Bev in their cozy home. We often toured the magnificent garden and admired Bev´s Bonsai specimens. Ann was a fabulous hostess whose dinners were always well planned and lovely. Over the years we traveled with Ann to many special gardens, and met many fellow gardeners. I had a lot of heartfelt conversations with Ann, as she was a good listener and often shared her own...

I worked with Ann in real estate, volunteered with her at Winghaven. She was smart, pretty, funny and resilient. Her company was welcomed in any gathering. She was talented and fun to be with.

What a wonderful, wonderful friend you were! You were smart, kind and absolutely hilarious. You were a fabulous cook and a terrific hostess, not to mention a superb travel companion. I will always miss you.
