Ann Frady Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Crawford / Ray Funeral Home on Dec. 30, 2024.
In the early morning hours of Saturday, December 21, 2024, Ann Godfrey Frady's beautiful spirit and soul left this earth for her heavenly home with the angels and Jesus.
She was the daughter of the late Robert and Bethel Wilson Godfrey and was also preceded in death by her husband, John David Frady, her brothers, James Robert and Billy Wilson Godfrey, and a sister, Mariam Elaine Hardin.
Ann was born at Mission Hospital on May 4, 1971, and had made her home in Haywood County. She is survived by her sister, Deborah Anne Godfrey, a brother, Samuel Dean Godfrey (Vicky), a half-brother, Robert Danko Arrington (Marlene), her daughter, Sarah Nicole Ashe (Tyler), sons, Ezekiel Sage Frady (Paige), Isaiah Slade Frady (Myrissa) and two grandchildren, Alexis Merritt Cutshaw and Lincoln Conner Ashe. They were the apples of her eye and were cherished by their Nanny.
Ann, a 1989 graduate of Tuscola High School, loved playing her flute in the Tuscola Marching Band as well as being involved in many other school activities. She went on to become a Registered Respiratory Therapist and worked for many years at Haywood Regional Medical Center and also Advent Health Hendersonville.
She loved to do many things such as yard sales, traveling, activities with family, crosswords, sudoku, and reading. Ann also enjoyed cooking and baking and her coconut cake, banana pudding, and sausage dressing were beloved staples at all family and holiday dinners and were sooo yummy! Ann's heart held a special place for her pet dogs that she cared for and babied, Rubyanne, Roxy, Big Clifford, and Roscoe.
Ann loved her family dearly and will be missed every day. She had a soothing nature about her even on her hardest of days. She was sweet, kind, generous and thoughtful and we have no doubt that she is rejoicing today in Paradise with her family and her Lord. Ann is whole again and free of all pain and suffering.
A Celebration of Life for Ann will be held at 2:00 pm Saturday, January 4, 2025 at Crawford / Ray Funeral Home and Cremation Service. Pastor Mark Golden will be officiating. The family will be receiving friends at the funeral home from 1:00 until 2:00 pm prior to the service.
Ann's loving spirit will live on in the hearts of those who knew her and loved her.
Crawford / Ray Funeral Home is deeply honored to be caring for the Frady family.
