It was wonderful to have Ann for my step sister and I have many fond memories of our childhood. She was always doing something fun. I remember helping her decorate her room ALL PURPLE. We even had to be wearing purple to enter her room. Ann was a smart girl and challenged me to do my best in school. I will miss you, Ann! Love, Kathy

We met Ann and Tim through a couples' gourmet group at least 20 years ago. We will always think of Ann as a great hostess even when the power went off in their beautiful new home during a winter gourmet dinner. She was always smiling and ready for a good laugh. Steve and Jane Reeser

I worked with Ann for many years. Her wonderful sense of humor will stay with me forever. She would says things like "We need to unscramble the spaghetti on this one." Always made me laugh. Miss you Ann.

I was lucky enough to have known Ann and by extension, her family. I will always miss her. Her grace, humor and bravery these past years were humbling to behold. Be good to yourselves, Tim, Ben and Rob, and call on me if you need.

I first met Ann as part of a couples gourmet group some 20+ years ago, before kids. We enjoyed an annual holiday cookie baking day together for many years.It is so hard to grasp that Ann will not be making and sharing her signature fudge recipes with friends and family. She was an amazingly strong women with so many interests. I was privileged to know her and will miss her. Deepest sympathies to Tim, the boys, friends and family. She left a mark on my life and I am grateful to have called her my friend.

I knew Ann through two message boards. I met her in person at gatherings in Ohio. A wonderful lady, with a nice family too.
I recall how she was such an MSu fan that she would post in green font. So once I replied in blue and yellow font, and she messaged "I didn't know you had a death wish!" She also called that other team "The Weasels"
I will miss seeing her online.
May she rest in peace. I will keep her family in my prayers.

I worked for Ann in 1987 and 1988. She was a wonderful supervisor for a new attorney. She was intelligent, gracious, and always cheerful. She will be missed by all who worked with her.

I had the privilege of working under Ann's supervision at the Court of Appeals for a few years. I will never forget her contagious laugh and sense of humor, Ann will always hold a special spot in my heart. May God be with her family and give them peace. Goodbye my friend.

I knew Ann from an online community, where her kindness and spirit shone through in every post she made. I was privileged to meet her in person, where she was just as welcoming. Her greatest act for me, though, was introducing me to my husband -- he and I were too shy to do that ourselves, and Ann stepped in. I'll always be grateful to her for that.

Ann was a remarkable attorney who made our work on the Michigan Court of Appeals so much better. She will be missed, but remembered fondly by the Judges and our staffs.

We just lost a great person and a world class character. The world was definately a better place by having Ann here. My thoughts and deepest sympathies to her family.

We are so sorry to hear that Ann has passed. I am thankful that I was able to see her in early September and we had a brief and pleasant conversation. She introduced me to MSU basketball when I was a freshman and she was junior, those were good years with Magic Johnson. She also recently sent me a basket with Starbucks coffee. I will think of her at any MSU event and when I get Starbucks coffee. She was a real trooper throughout this whole ordeal and I will always admire her spirit. Our deepest sympathies, Sue (Cowles) and Ray Kelch
