Ann was an amazing and loving mother, Granny, and Great-Grandmother who cherished her family deeply. She was a faithful member of Paynes Baptist Church for more than sixty years, until her health no longer allowed her to attend. Through every trial and season of illness, she never lost her faith and remained a true inspiration to all who knew her. Ann kept her eyes fixed on heaven and looked forward to the day she would be with her Heavenly Father.

Funeral services will be held at noon Monday, February 2, 2026 at McKibben and Guinn Funeral Service with Shea Brasher and Danny Forrest officiating. Interment will follow in the Magnolia Gardens Cemetery at Paynes. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service Monday at McKibben and Guinn.
