Ann Corfman

Ann was great co-worker and a friend. In the early months of the Johnny Appleseed program I was contacted by a group from MN who was going to publish a series of books for children. The one on Johnny Appleseed, they ask if we would proof it . I ask Ann if she would do that and she helped with that and then she wrote 3 books about Johnny. Joe D. Besecker

I was privileged to have met and worked with Ann at the Gloria Theater. She was one of a kind - always greeted me with a warm smile and addressed me as "hey girl". It made me feel so welcomed around her. She had a contagious personality, so much fun to be around and was always spreading cheer and goodwill. I will deeply miss her and "hey girl" can't wait until we meet again!

Ann was a true gem. She remembered me from being Freddie Falcon at GHS and her husband was my Math teacher. I met Ann and we became friends while I opened the front desk at the Champaign Family YMCA each morning at 5 am. She was always interested in me and I loved talking with her. I got to know what extraordinary is; She was a remarkable woman. Ann will be missed and was loved by all, had the best laugh and smile, always a kind word. RIP my friend!

Ann will be sadly missed by all who new her. She always had a welcomed smile. Played with Ann at the farmers market on several occasions with the dulcimers. R.I.P my friend

We will really miss Ann at the Johnny Appleseed Society and Museum. She was a tireless worker in the program from it's inception in 1995. She was always an enthusiastic and upbeat volunteer.
