Ann Slosser Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 30, 2024.
Jessica Ann (Perry) Slosser passed away peacefully at her home in Oberlin, Ohio on September 8, 2024. Born in 1933 in Miami, Ann traveled north for her education at Oberlin Conservatory, where she earned a bachelor's degree in 1955. There she laid the foundation for her career in music education and met her husband and partner for 53 years, Gaius Jackson Slosser. They raised their five children in Edina, Minnesota, where Ann taught piano and contributed to the arts community. Following Gaius' death in 2008, she moved to Kendal at Oberlin and settled into a community there that she cherished. Ann leaves behind five children and eleven grandchildren, scattered from Sacramento, California to Vienna, Austria, and many friends, including her dear companion in Fort Myers, Florida. A memorial service was held at Kendal in September. Ann will be interred next to Gauis at Lakewood Cemetery in Minneapolis. Memorial contributions may be made to the Resident Assistance Fund, Kendal at Oberlin, 600 Kendal Dr, Oberlin, OH 44074.

Aunt Ann was a feisty enabler. Who knew? Probably her, but like her sister-in-law, turning a blind eye or two has its consequences. Thank goodness she had sturdy stock. Condolences.

My darling mother - Annie B. - she was the sweetest while holding little babies - so grateful to have had the chance to see her hold my four girls. Miss our long conversations already.

I was once Dr Slosser´s clinic nurse & also the baby sitter for the Slosser kids so he & Ann could have a night out or a trip out of town. Ann had the most wonderful smile & laugh. She also had so much patience with her lively crew. You all must miss her deeply. Sending hugs & love.

I will always cherish the way my mom would do a little dance & sing: "On the road again... I just can´t wait to be on the road again." I treasure my memories of all the car trips to amazing places all across the USA & Canada.
