Wife of late husband Peter, dearly loved Mum of Phil and Steve, special Sister to Mary, cherished Aunt to Sarah, and proud Nanny Ann of Max and Georgia.  A quietly strong and determined woman, Ann was loved by all who knew her – gentle, kind-hearted, and always thinking of others.

Her warmth and sweet nature made her a joy to be around. She was also proud to be a leap year baby - officially turning 21 last year. "Loved and remembered every day, quietly strong in her own gentle way."
