My heartfelt condolences to Ann's family and many friends who will miss her kind spirit and her beautiful smile. I have many fond memories of working with Ann for many years at Presbyterian. When I moved into a nurse educator role, Ann was a role model for me (and for many others over the years). She was always patient with a new learner and her smile brightened everyone's day. My prayers are that you may feel God's love and peace as you journey through these difficult days of loss.

Debbie and I are so sorry to hear of the passing of Ann. I'm glad that I was able to reconnect with my cousin after many years in 2017. I enjoyed our talks and texts over the last few years, catching up on our lives! Our prayers are with Butch, Ruth and family, Steve, and Hugh during this difficult time. RIP Ann......
