Not sure what to say?

Jacob, Joel and family, I was saddened to learn of her death via Joel's position Facebook. I grew up a member of St. Michaels and knew your Mom. My mom and your Mom were church friend all those many years. May she rest in peace. Remember the good times with her.

What a lovely, fitting obituary for a woman with a life well-lived. I so vividly remember our last meeting and her message to live each day with joy and gratitude. I'm really going to miss her ability to frame about anything with great humor. And of course that Wonderful Wyoming history!! Jil Feldhausen

Dear Joel, and all your family members. Sorry to hear about the death of your Mom. It looks like she lived life to the fullest and brought a lot of joy and happiness to so many people! Her spirit lives on, and she will be remembered with love and smiles.

I remember Anne from when I worked at Wiseman Animal Hospital. She was always so kind. Always had a smile. Always a deep devotion to hear dog. Rest in peace beautiful lady.

To The Ireland Family
Your mother will be truly missed and I valued her friendship.
We met as volunteers at El Dorado Hospital working in the gift shop.
God bless you all!

To Jeff, Joel, and the rest of the Ireland family, we are sorry for your loss of your mother Ann - our thoughts and prayers go out to you. I remember her well when I would see her visiting the house to see Jeff when we were kids.

I've known Ann for almost 15 years, we met while she was a volunteer at El Dorado Hospital. She became family I had the privilege to choose. She was my Democrat friend, I was her Republican. We spoke about politics and always agreed to disagree but this time not so much. I saw her hug Cher (Fred) , she came up to his belly button, eat nachos with a Diet Coke at roller derby , ate steak almost mooing (well done if you ask me), she loved Chuckles, favorite color black and less favorite green....

I must say this the by far the best, most "real", humorous in all the right places obituary I have ever read. She sounds like one dyn-o-mite lady, and I would have loved to have known her. I do have the privilege of knowing one of her children, who shares her engaging sense of what is funny and real.

so sorry for the loss of Ann, I worked with her at union Bank, such an awesome lady, Rest In Peace, Ann
