Ann began doing my hair in 1985-2007. When my daughter was old enough, she began cutting her hair, too. My one recollection of Ann, was when her grand daughter Ashlee was small, she would stay with Ann at the shop, and Ann would tell of her plans with Ashlee for the weekend. You could tell how much she enjoyed her grand daughter. I was so shocked when I learned of Ann´s illness. I hope she is at peace. My sincere condolences to her entire family.

I am so sorry about Ann's passing. She was truly one of a kind. The obituary certainly summed up the qualities that made her such a beautiful person. "Her work ethic, outspoken wit, big heart..." I will forever remember her for all of those. Rest in peace my friend.

So sorry for the loss of your Mother & Grandma. Ann was a wonderful person. She was so good to my late Mom. My mom thought the world of her. I know she loved her girls so much. RIP, dear Ann

My sincere sympathy to all of Ann's family & friends. I knew Ann for many, many years at both shops. She always had colorful stories to tell. She made me laugh with it all. I was sad to hear of her illness and now her passing. I am hoping fond memories will comfort you.
Rest in Peace Ann

When Ann worked for Tony and I, at The Hair Affair, she was the most thoughtful, and an extremely kind person not only toward Tony and I, but toward all the clients that walked through the doors. While an employee, who became a dear friend, she treated the Salon as if it was her own. We never had to ask her to do anything. It was already done.
One Christmas, she gave us a beautiful Nativity Scene of the birth of Jesus Christ. It was made of Mother of Pearl which she had made herself. There were about 30 pieces of the scene. Every Christmas, we place the Nativity under our tree and it brings us much joy as we unwrap the pieces and remember, 'Ann made this for us.' She left us with beautiful memories, and we'll always cherish the Manger and Ann. When we moved to Florida in 1985, she became the owner of the salon. Ann was a special lady.

My condolences to Ann's family. She was truly one of a kind. I used to love visiting her at the hair shop with my grandparents when I was a kid. She even pierced my ears! She was a tough lady and I always admired her. May she rest in paradise.
