There wasn't a thing that got by Annie, be it a hooky day from school, a prom picture, wedding celebrations, and welcoming new babies to the world. Annie was our second Mom and we loved her as such. How many cups of coffee did we share over each others kitchen tables? How many neighborhoods stay together for 45 years? How blessed we have all been to be able to say that. I will miss Annie and my prayers are with Gene, Becky, and Jeff and theirs...Can you think of a better Guardian Angel...

May Ann Ouellete's memory be eternal!
I was saddened to learn of Ann's death, and extend my sincere condolences to Eugene and family, as well as to other relatives and to everyone who knew and loved Ann. I remember Ann from her early days in the banking business -- at 13th Avenue State Bank. She was a friendly and gracious teller. I noticed that one of the surviving relatives is Gladys Erke. Gladys also worked at 13th Avenue Bank as the head bookkeeper.
