Ann touched so many lives, including mine. We met through Marian Osterloh (she passed away in March) and enjoyed the Mendocino Music Festival and visits on the coast. I know those two friends are together again, and that helps the loss. My heartfelt condolences to the family and friends.

Dear Shelly and family, please know that my thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Your mother was such a wonderful lady. So many of us were shocked of her passing. She was in my store about 3 weeks ago, she told me that I was on her list of people to see, I'm very honored now! All tied up in a purple ribbon were four coin spoons, on the back, the name Staples. We had no idea where they came from, if in fact they are part of my family, I am blessed to have them. In our large...

I want you to know how sad I am to hear of Ann's passing.

Our disbelief and sadness at Ann's passing is overwhelming. She was such a unique, sincere and kind woman. She was the first to support you in your time of need. I know of her giving back to people all over the world through her nursing care, but she gave to those in Chico first. Our families were friends in the "old days" but Ann kept in touch and we had great fun whenever we met up. My family and I are proud to have called her friend. She will live in our memories and will be deeply missed....

We became friends with Ann through her cousin Bob Wilkins when she came to San Marcos for a visit. She was a wonderful, kind and caring person who always had a smile on her face. We feel honored to have
known her. Our thoughts and prayers are with her daughters and the rest of her extened family. She will be deeply missed.

Shelly, Carrie, and Stephanie, I read the ER on the computer, I couldn't believe Ann gone. I have a lot of good, wonderful, memories of Ann. The last time I saw her she was having so much fun having dinner with friends. I gave her my half bottle of wine as I left another table. I will remember the happy face. Ann made a lot of reservations for me and she always took pictures of me at parties and functions, saying the photographer never has her picture taken, and mail them to me.She was...
