She is also survived by brothers Larry (Lois) Blankenship of Montgomery, W.Va., James(Barbara) Blankenship of St.Albans, W.Va.; sisters Kathy Lemley of Middleport, Ohio, Nancy (Scott) Holbert of Cape Canveral Fla.; daughters Melissa (Travis) Arnold of Point Pleasant. W.Va., and Michelle Williams of Pennsylvania; 10 grandchildren, three great grandchildren; six nephews, three nieces and great nieces and great nephews.

She is preceded in death by father and mother, Harless and Karen Blankenship; brother Richard Blankenship; daughter Taylor Powell; aunt Evelyn Harper and cousin Charles Parsons.

Annie was a beautiful person with a beautiful smile and beautiful soul. She loved her family above all. She always worked hard and was dedicated to her job — never called out sick in nine years. Even through the end, Ann gave herself as an organ donor to save lives of strangers.

When you think of Ann you think of green bean casserole, crescent rolls, Chicago Bears, Elvis and Boy George.

To some of us she was a hero that we wanted to be like, or just be around. She will be truly missed by so many and will forever be in our hearts .

A closed casket service will be held at the convenience of the family at the Anderson McDaniel Funeral Home in Pomeroy.
