HITCH, Ann Gough, 90, of Crozier, gracefully joined the angels in eternal life on January 16, 2012. She was predeceased by her husband of 55 years, Samuel George Leonard Hitch III. This greatly-loved mother, grandmother,

great-grandmother and friend is survived by her daughters, Nancy Briggs and Betsy Dilley (Larry); granddaughter, Kathryn Horst (Matthew); and great- grandchildren, Callie and Alexander Horst; as well as several stepgrandchildren and stepgreat-grandchildren. Ann lived a life full of grace; she loved to entertain, enjoyed spending time with her family, rejoiced in laughter, and delighted in dancing with her beloved husband, George. She was a member of Redeemer Episcopal Church in Midlothian, Va. Ann's life can be summed up in one word - GRACE. She was a special lady who embodied grace and touched the lives of many. Ann was dearly loved by all, and now she is dancing gracefully with the angels in Heaven!

Not sure what to say?

Betsy,
The memories that I have of your mom (and dad) always put a smile on my face. She really was a very speical lady.

I remember your mom as just an adorable little lady. Every time I see a pair of colorful slacks, I think of her. Once she showed me a favorite outfit which included "what she called" her "Party Pants". She is missed.

Your mother possessed such a beautiful soul, and it is reflected in both of you and the way you lead your lives.
God bless you as you grieve the loss of your devoted mother.

Betsy and Larry, I am deeply saddened by the loss of your mother. May you reflect upon the strength it took to reach the age of 90. And may that strength shed light upon you to make it through this difficult time. I know that the love and support of friends and family will bring you comfort.

Blessings to you and your family,
Judy

Nancy and Betsy - I was so sorry to hear the news of your Mom's passing - I had SO many wonderful times with her and your Dad at Brandermill. My daughter Jenny had great times talking with her about a teaching career as she was going thru Longwood. She made a huge impression on Jenny. I have so missed her wonderful smiling face since she moved. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. She was an awesome lady who will be greatly missed. Love and...

I'm sorry I didn't get to meet you but feel like I knew you from all the wonderful things that Betsy said about you. I know you are in heaven and rejoicing.

Ann was a great lady, I've known her from Brankdermill where my Mom & Dad lived as well. My dad is Mac McAfee who did the wood working shop with George. They were both such wonderful people! My thoughts & prayers are with you all at this time of loss, she is with her George now and is at peace. Denise McAfee Zuidema
