Ann Polancic Gerding

I'm so sorry to hear about Ann. She has a lovely spirit that lives on and was an inspiration to many including me! God bless you Ann and your family!

It's hard to believe that the loving, active soul of Ann has departed. I'll always remember her zest for life and how her eyes sparkled with her joyful smile whenever she greeted me and others. I will miss this strong woman of faith and treasure all the memories we made along the trails. May God bring His comfort and peace to Ann's family and friends.

Ann was a seasoned usher at North Central College. It was always a joy to work with her taking tickets and handing out programs! She enjoyed the volunteer work and then staying to watch the programs.
My condolences to Ann’s family and friends!

Will really miss Ann. Am so glad she come out to Washington 2 years ago to visit her sister Mary and we took Ann to the Oregon Coast and the Space Needle. She really wanted to see the boat from the book "Boys in the Boat" We drove around the Washington University Campus and found the right building, but the room was locked that contained the boat. Some wonderful memories I will always look back on. Much love to Ann and the family.

Ann was a long-time neighbor and was a Sunday evening tennis doubles player with my husband and me many years ago. More importantly and more recently, Ann and I have been fellow St Thomas parishioners with shared interest in Haiti outreach. We occasionally crossed paths as neighborhood walkers. I was pleased that she used her creative gifts to make notecards not only for friends but also to sell to benefit our parish’s efforts in Duchity, Haiti. Being around Ann was always a gentle...

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Much loved Aunt, Friend and Confidant. I will miss our late night chats.

My thoughts and prayers to Linda, Chris and their families.

Love Sandra

Ann loved life and all it has to offer, God, family, friends. Kind, caring, always ask How are you, any trips lined up. Ann, rest in God's almighty presence. She's looking for a walking path.
