Ann O'Brien Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
After summering in Ipswich as a child, Ann fell in love with Great Neck and she and her husband, Rich, settled in Ipswich to raise their family. She worked as nurse throughout her life at various hospitals, including Cable Memorial, Beverly Hospital and retired from Salem Hospital.
Ann and Rich were truly best friends. They traveled the world, hosted amazing family parties and loved frequenting local restaurants. Most of all, they loved spending time together.
Ann is survived by: her children, Richard O'Brien and wife Tracy of Ipswich; Sheila O'Brien and husband Edward Dingman of Nanuet, NY; her sisters, Patricia Bicknell and husband Brian of Yarmouth, ME; Judith Shottes of Vero Beach, FL; her grandchildren, Christian O'Brien of Scottsdale, AZ (formerly of Ipswich); Jaclyn O'Brien of Ipswich; Adam Dingman of Liverpool, NY; James Dingman of Nanuet, NY; and her dearest friends: Nancy Parker, Ann Winter, Ann Wing, Annette Dube, Elizabeth Pope and Lorraine Gordan.
Ann's family is grateful for the wonderful care that she received at home from Aberdeen Home Care, Inc., Visiting Angels of Danvers and Care Dimensions.
