Ann Coburn-Collins

So saddened to hear of my dear life long friend's passing. So many wonderful memories of her at Southwest and at the last Southwest reunion. Thoughts are with all of you during this sad time. Connie Swyden Haug

I am so sorry to hear this was hoping to see her at our reunion this is so Sad Prayers for All Ann will be dearly missed. Ann and I were good friends at Southwest

I met Ann before she attended Southwest. Her brother Clay and my brother Steve played on the same 3&2 baseball team. I think my dad was one of the coaches for the team. We would sit in the stands watching the games and talking about all kinds of things and laughing a lot. When she came to Southwest she became a very popular figure with her friendly and fun personality and her beautiful blonde hair. I was hoping to see her at the reunion. She was a very special woman. My condolences to Clay...

She radiated love and true beauty. I knew her from high school.

My deepest condolences to Ann's family and friends -she was loved and respected by so many. Ann was a force to be reckoned with and one of the best bosses I ever had. She knew how to get things done and all she did was done with love and integrity. She will be missed by many.

Ann was a favorite of mine from Southwest High School days. I enjoyed her mom, dad and brother Clay throughout those years. We lived on the same street and would many times walk to and from school together. Wonderful memories of a wonderful person. I extend my deepest and heartfelt sympathy to all of Ann's family during this difficult time.

My condolences to Ann´s Family. I became acquainted with Ann over a decade ago in both a personal and professional capacity. From the minute we met, you felt her warmth and empathy for people and life. She was always so very authentic in her love for her family and for her profession. Discussions with Ann went from great recipes, to what´s playing in the theatre, and some serious points of view of people and our society. They were all filled with beautiful reminders of how to laugh and...

Dear Ann was a lovely woman and a customer of mine when I worked in retail. But I remember her fondly because she allowed me to have a Sweet sixteen party for my son in her house on Center. He wanted a clue mansion party. We will never forget that night. But she also set my son on his career path by introducing him to a mentor at SVSU who helped him on his path to become a doctor which he has become. We love you Ann and will never forget your kindness.

I knew Ann from Avila, where I enrolled in a couple of her courses. She was indeed, a gifted sociologist and her high standards were evident in the classroom. Her enthusiasm for the discipline was infectious and made her courses all the more engaging. My sympathy to her family and friends as you grieve.
