Ann Wetzel Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Apr. 23, 2023.
Age 65, beloved mother of three, passed away peacefully on April 3, 2023, surrounded by her family in Fontana, CA. She was born on August 24, 1957, in San Bernardino, CA, the daughter of Wayne and Colleen Stoddard. She is survived by her three children, Keith Fryer, Diana Sailler, and Michael Fryer, father Wayne, brother Jeff Stoddard, sister Colleen Hayes, and four grandchildren. After graduating from Aquinas High School in San Bernardino, she attended Ontario-Montclair School of Court Reporting. She would later enjoy her work at State Farm in Riverside, fostering a lifetime of cherished friendships and memories. Ree was a sensational wordsmith and gifted pianist. She loved spending time with her family and friends, relaxing in the warm California summer, and looking up at the stars. For all who knew and loved her, we will remember the gentle banter, caring spirit, and unwavering selflessness as we continue our 'walk with her'. A private memorial service will be held on Thursday, April 27th, in Redlands, CA. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Lustgarten Foundation.
