Pat and loved ones,
Ann was a great, witty lady. She loved her family and her sports and attending her grandchildren games. I always enjoyed chatting with Ann during her hair appointments. May your fond and loving memories comfort you now and during the days ahead. Sending my deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences.

So sorry about Ann's death. I know she is happy to be with Ed in Heaven.
Ann was one of the first friend's I met in New City 50 years ago. We were next door neighbors with Ann & Ed for years and raised our children together.
Always shared a good time together.
Our sincere sympathy to all the Donegan's. She will be greatly missed.
