Ann Michelle Oakes

My heart felt condolences. May Ann fly high with the angels. Ann was such a gentle soul and I will always remember her smile and her laugh. I and my sisters were friends, with Ann & growing up in the same neighborhood. Rest in peace Ann

Annie had a brother named Robert. Her brother was there for me during a very difficult time in life. When her brother passed, Annie and I developed a special bond. She was so sweet praying for me during that time. Annie was a warm and loving person. So very happy I got to know her.

Annie was my cousin. I remember going to her house to visit with her, Aunt Sis and the rest of the family, it was always a great time. When we got older, I got married and left the area and because my husband was in the Air Force for 20 years and we gradually lost touch. Once he retired, we moved back to the area and I was able to connect with Annie on Facebook again. Unfortunately, we were never able to meet up again in person as we always believe that we have "lots of time" to do so and never did. I was very shocked to learn that she had passed. She will be greatly missed. I pray that Tex, Bethany and Lucas and all of those who loved her will be able to find some peace in the days ahead.

Me and Annie were best friends the very first time we met, we had so much fun together and so much love:) she will always have a special place in my . What comforts me is, we will be together again in heaven :-) I know that and believe that is true. We both believed in God so much I know that she is safe and sound in his loving:) I love you dear friend. Love always and forever, Christine king

Annie, I love you and miss you so much. Losing you so unexpectantly is a heart breaking hurt that doesn't want to go away. You where and always will be my little sister that I cherish so much. I really loved talking with you and knowing now that I can't is a tough one to swallow. I know you are with Jesus and that is the only thing that keeps me going and knowing I will see you again one day and hug you and never let go. Love you my baby sister. Until we meet again...

Not sure what to say. Ann and I started our friendship at Lonza. We immediately become besties. We had lunch together every day. Her smile was contagious. I never saw her happier then when she met Tex. She told me I feel like my life is now complete. We first met him when she made our friend Cindy and I go for Chinese we immediately saw the connection. It wasn't easy her being sick but she kept going. She once said I can't sit and feel sorry for myself or keep going and she kept going. I will miss that laugh I will miss your words of advice but most of all I will miss you. Love you more Shawna Fogg.

Many memories of when we took the girls trick-or-treating as we followed them in the car. Also the times we went to the bars and apple picking . You would watch Courtney and get her on the bus. I know we didn´t do much recently but I knew you would be there to talk and I appreciate all you did to help me out. The way you were always so calm. Also the way you were so proud to be a grandma. Rest in peace and fly high Ann I will miss you I have no doubt you are still watching over all your loved ones.

I really did not know her, I was friends with her on Facebook and she was my Aunt, and now I will never know her. Fly with my mom in heaven RIP

Aunt Annie was the young, kind aunt in the family. I remember her having a Billy Idol poster on her door, and it always made me think of how cool she was. I admired her carefree spirit and the sense of fun she brought whenever she was around. My heart goes out to Bethany and Tex.

This makes me so sad....my Annie. I have enjoyed our friendship which began at Lonza.

We were fortunate to have met Ann many years ago through her husband Tex. Since meeting her, we have enjoyed concerts, get togethers,, poker as well as the casino and out to dinners. Some of our activities were more memorable than the others in particular, a John Cafferty concert. We were seated in the front center of the room. Ann had to grab him by the back of his belt because the table tipped when he walked singing across the table top, if she hadn´t grabbed him, he would have been on the floor. Then there was a Jackson Browne concert on the Portland Waterfront in March and it was freezing. Ann was so cold, she purchased a cozy fleece to cover up with. We´ve joked about her expensive cover up since. There have been many occasions that come to mind but we will always remember the funny caring laughing sometimes crying times as we hold tight to the memories and cherish the good times. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered. Heartfelt condolences to Tex, Bethany and Lucas and all who knew and loved her.
