Ann Grinnell

Ann was always a wonderful kind person. She was all inclusive and giving.
I remember going to the Grinnell's as a kid. Wonderful family!! I am so sorry for your loss.

I went to church with Ann, I wish we had more time as we may of been related. She didnt waste her time here on earth. I believe she will still find a way to do good deeds.

To the Grinnell Pelletier Family -
I am so sorry for your loss. Ann taught my youngest child to swim. Her emphasis on safety and respecting the water - resonates two decades later. Her commitment to teaching children to swim - undoubtedly protected/saved lives.

Marge,
I am so sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

I started taking lessons with Ann when I was 6 months old at the Martin’s pool and continued at her pool. Some of my greatest memories as a child was swimming on Saturday nights with Jody and Charlie, having birthday parties and eating cake underneath the apple trees, all the Fla Vor Ice, The Creek swim, Ann’s infectious smile and laugh and hearing her voice so clearly underwater. I am so grateful that my two children were able to learn from her and to reconnect after so many years. She...

Ann taught my 4 children how to swim
and in the process, became a friend. She was person I admired and looked forward to seeing every week. She had such a strong spirit and generosity towards others. My kids and I will never forget her.

Ann was the best, she taught me how to Swim when I was 4. Never forget freezing Swimming Chauncy Creek, I'll miss you so Much Ann

Ann taught me to swim when I was 33 years old!!! I absolutely loved her, and was lucky enough to attend the same water aerobics class with her at the Portsmouth Pool for a few seasons. She was an amazing person and a good friend to many, and her passing leaves a hole in our community. Love to her family!

Marge, I am so sorry for your loss. She gave so much of herself and was such a bright light. She will be missed by so many. Ann's fabulous spirit lives on in and through not only through your and the rest of her family, but all in Kittery, Haiti, and beyond who she touched, as well as in all the many confident and safe swimmers she taught, and those of us just plain lucky to have known her. Our thoughts are with you.
