HECK Ann J Heck died 12/4/2010 after 81 years of life. Family who have gone before her include her parents, Roy M and Ethel Hinkle Johnson and her brother, David Johnson.

Bill, Steve, Barbara, Martha, Brian and James, I was so saddened to hear of Ann's death. She was a wonderfull new neighbor for me when my family moved to Bakersfield. Her help in a new area was greatly welcomed.
She was a pleasure to have a chat over a cup of coffee. A special lady I will always remember. May all of you cherish her memory. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Maxine LaBouff

Dearest Bill, Barbara, and rest of the family,

Ann was the personification of a "True Southern Lady". Her gentleness, her laughing eyes, and her ability to connect with those around her, made her a person you wanted as a friend. We feel fortunate that Ann was a friend of ours. She will be missed!

With Love, Susie & Max Martensen
