Ann was the consummate professional, overseeing priceless works of art with deep knowledge and care. I was fortunate to work with Ann on a number of projects at the Portland Art Museum. She was a joy and a truly lovely person. She will be missed greatly by all those who knew and worked with her at the Museum.

She was a lovely kind lady. We will miss visiting with her. David and Alyce Bode
