Very sad to hear the news of Ann's passing. Truly a wonderful person and a second mom to all the neighborhood kids. Fondly remembering her cookies and the fun we had hanging out on Harold street during our St. Mary's years. Ann was especially gracious in offering rides and assistance of any kind to our mom throughout the years.

Our condolences to the Cherry family.

We were so very sad to hear that Ann passed. She was our neighbor for almost 30 years and a ray of sunshine. Never heard her utter a word of complaint. May we all live up to her example of kindness and generosity. Condolences to all.
