John, Beth and Pierce,
I met your mother when I was 17 while babysitting ya'll with Pat. I was more than a little rough around the edges, militant and definitely anti-establishment. Regardless of my ignorance (at the time!), Ann was always very kind to me, and never judgmental although I was dating her niece and certainly deserving of it. I was very grateful for how she treated all my children, but particularly Stephanie and Samantha. Ann was a fine lady and I will always think of...

May God be with you and family in this time of sorrow. I, and I believe all who knew her, were deeply saddened to learn of Ann's death. Ann (Beverly to me all the way back to Mrs. Robertson's dancing school days) was a real joy to know and share good times with, as old friends do. I shall truly miss her. God bless.
