Read MoreI had the pleasure of working with Ann for 15 years at Republic Services. It was just yesterday that I learned of her passing. She was one of sweetest people I knew. Ann would always praise me for going above & beyond. I would try to resolve customer issues so she didn't get bothered. She was a great mentor and friend.My condolences to her family & friends. May she rest in eternal peace. ❤

Ann was my contact for years at Republic, and I truly appreciated the personal care she gave us. No request was too difficult, and I always knew that if I could just talk to Ann, she would figure things out and fix any issue that came up. She was exceptionally kind, efficient, and a joy to talk to. May God give grace and comfort to her precious family and loved ones in these days ahead.

I knew Ann as a parent of several beautiful children attending Bibich Elementary School in Dyer. She was a great volunteer and always very pleasant. May God bring peace and understanding to her family.
