I had the pleasure of being with Ann only a few times. She was already in her 80's by then and my first impression was "WOW" what a whirlwind of energy and enthusiasm!
Her artistic abilities were boundless and the ways in which she presented them was so beautiful and unique.
Her love story with Alan is a treasure for her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren to cherish.
The many talents she possessed have been passed down and memories of her will live in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.

Oh my goodness, so many great memories as a child and also an adult. From getting carried around at the beach (above photo) to Disney world trips with cousins, to just hanging out at the house and exploring nature - they are all filled with love. She was a feisty one, never put up with any nonsense and always got the job done!
She also instilled that art is important, and you should take time to appreciate it. We do that with our kids today.
I love that my kids got to spend some quality time with her. Any meeting was always filled with tons of candy, Miles and Penny were not complaining!
Love you always.

This photo is a perfect example of my Mom's "commonsense"approach to getting "R" done. Sorry about your luck Justin, not! You didn't listen to Grandma!
Mom was tiny and determined, stir in that artistic energy, sense of humor (odd is normal), and always there for free "therapy" sessions, hands on she was the greatest Mom in the land!
Her hands did a gazillion things in 86 years!
In one final gesture she waved goodbye, saying "you guys will be fine, you got it under control,so proud of all of you!" But she is not gone,she is somewhere with her trusty brushes, watercolors, and pastels just waiting to paint another masterpiece..... in the sky. I will know it when I see it! Nice work again Mom!
Forever in our Hearts,
Karen & Butch

Ann you always treated me like one of your own. I loved our days of having a glass of wine together. I always felt like one of the family. You & Alan were like parents to me. I will miss you dearly. Love, Nita Lucke

Here we are..all of us, with MOM..(Dad is taking the picture)..our Mother, such a pioneer ..always ready to go see things, places, and people ..always saying "Hurry up, let's go.." !
The last thing you said to me when I called you on Monday (March 8) when I told you I was coming (up) to see you..you said to me .."I hope so..soon, okay ?"
I can still hear you say.."Yes child.." when I would call to talk..will miss that..will miss your voice..
we WILL see each other.., in heaven..which you now know is very beautiful.
Your child, Margaret.. (Bluth) Dooley

Mrs Bluth was always good to me when I was there to hangout with Craig and Mark. I remember she would always ask if I would like to have something to eat. She drove a gold Mustang at that time. Had a great time back in the old neighborhood back then. Prayers for your family and friends

Ann was a kind and dear lady who had an energetic laugh! It was a joy to be in her company. Her wit and humor will be missed. My condolences to the family.

So sorry to hear this. I remember spending a lot of time at the Bluth house when I was growing up! I remember Mrs Bluth well. Was also shocked to see that Tracy had passed.
