Ann Moore, 81, passed away on November 12, 2025 at home surrounded by family. She was born to Werner and Margaret (Vowinkel) Lade in Detroit, MI on September 19, 1944. After short courtship, she married Dale Moore on December 27, 1967 and they shared 39 years together.
Ann had quite a few jobs in her life, but being a mother was her first choice. She loved roller skating with her kids, also the neighborhood kids that went along on those nights, trips to the zoo, and Pizza Hut and Pizza Inn. She played tennis in the street with the kids also. Ann always had a smile for everyone she met. There’s to many more stories to tell of adventure with her life.
