Ann Elizabeth (Irving) Keniston, 72, passed away peacefully, at Blaire House of Tewksbury MA, after a long and courageous battle with Alzheimer's Disease.
Ann was a devoted wife, mother, and friend. The greatest joy of her life was being a mother to her daughter, Caroline, a role she cherished above all else.

In the early years of her marriage, Ann built a successful career in banking. She worked her way up from a bank teller to a mortgage processing professional, taking great pride in her work and the contribution she made to her family.
Ann treasured the friendships she formed throughout her life. She was known for her quick wit, infectious laugh, and the deep, genuine love she had for those around her. Time spent with family and friends was a source of endless joy for her, and she leaves behind countless cherished memories.
