Ann Crumpacker

My mother, Aileen Thomas or Clark to Winkie, never stopped talking about her my entire adult life. They met at University of Oregon and joined the same sorority. For the last few years it was my mom´s goal to find her again. Winkie was an incredible person to my mother and had a beautiful spirit about her. I have scrapebooks with pages of their adventures in them together. What a loving tribute to a wonderful woman.

Learning allegiant,treasured friendship between your dear Mom Ann,my Mom Anne & Shirley was shared with us as young kids We'd always look forward to joining ya'll at Neahkahnie! Indeed Ann was a great friend to those of all ages:) I would think of Ann years later wishing she was still at Aviano Airbase to visit. I was helping fly many US troops in/out of mid east. As adults,& parents feel proud of lovely influence your carrying on in your family Much Love & memories always of dear 'Winki'

I will never forget this gentle ladies warm heart and warm home. Always ready with milk and cookies or some other tasty delight, she was like a second mother to hoards of kids that frequented her home. What a Mom and what a human being. My condolences to those that were so close to her, and find nothing to replace her love.

Your sweet, brave, resilient, adventurous & funny momma left a legacy in you dear Emily. She was blessed to have such tender care, love & ministrations

Blair and Emily, Abby and Dean, four kind hearted citizens of the world are testament to such a fine and good Mother. Ann's easy way made for friendship spread wide and deep. My Mom was one who shared a delight and devotion to children over hot fudge sundaes with Ann. How lucky to have grown up in the brightness and warmth of such dear Mothers. Carry on, .. in spite of everything, "Yes!", glorious, strongly bound and bountiful family.

Ann, Abby and I went to see the Lipizzan Stallions in what was then Yugoslavia in 1975/6. I am so grateful for my time with her, and with Abby when we were in Italy. A lovely and strong woman.
