Ann Bateman Capers

Ann Capers (Bat Man) was the worlds best grammy. She was my biggest fan and best friend in the entire world. My Grammy would always come to Canada to come and watch me and my sister's theartre productions at Original Kids. She was our biggest fan. Ann Capers is the brightest shining star and will always forever live in each and every one of us all. I love you to the moon and back when its morning grammy. xoxo.

I was so saddened to hear of Ann's death. My sincete sympathy to her husband, daughters and grandchildren. Ann and I went thru kindergarten to graduation together at radnor high school! She was a true radnorite! A very fine person always with a smile. God bless her Rosanne Novelli Mincarelli

We were fortunate to be Ann's across the street neighbors for 16 years. We always remember Ann every Christmas, because we have hwe old Santa Claus outside our home. First in Wayne, then in Oregon and now in South Carolina. Her big smile on Midland Avenue always made life great and we are sorry to hear of her passing! Sending lots of love - Grace, Aaron, Alex, Kyle, George and Liza

God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
From the time that I was in your wedding it has been a pleasure to keep up with you thru John concerning some of the events of your family. You were certainly blessed in your wonderful life. Cheryl and I will cherish your memory and will miss you. Art & Cheryl Clephane

I have so many memories of Ann. Years ago our house burned down. It was winter, we had three children. I called Ann and she said ,"come here and stay"Of course she would and so we moved, all 5 of us, into Midland Ave. until we found a house to rent. Some years later when she had moved to Chicago, I went to visit her, because I missed her and needed to see where they were living and how her life was in Chicago. Of course with her lovable and happy self, she had a raft of friends and had taken up curling as her new sport. I could fill up a page with hilarious memories. Much later I moved away and Annie had given me so many fun memories and a great example of how to, " bloom where you are planted. I am a very lucky person to have gone through those child rearing years with her and am sending my love to John and the girls, knowing how very much she is missed.

Sweet Cousin Ann... The one who kept those of us on the West Coast connected to our East Coast "Bateman" roots. Forever grateful for that and the example she set for a life well lived in kindness, selflessness and love. Our memories are a comfort as we are saddened by this lost of such a vibrate soul. Holding our East Coast family in close in our hearts this day.

Here is a photo of John with Ann by his side while hosting The Golf Heritage Society at Merion on March 23, 2024. Ann helped John make the event extra special for us.
