May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I met Ann at the Senior Ctr. in State College. I will miss her wonderful sense of humor and fun. I would sit and talk with the puzzle folks and pick up the pieces they couldn't find that were on the floor! I just found out from the beautician she and I shared. What a loss. So sorry.

Ann was a wonderfully witty, delightful person. I wish I had known her longer. Her knitting and crochet skills were epic. Mostly, I'll remember her for her 'wicked' wit and her stories about Massachusetts, a state we shared and called home. The Hooks and Needles will miss her very much. Rest in peace, Ann, and be sure to have plenty of yarn with you. Jane Lee Childs

I never imagined a world without you. I'm sorry and glad that I missed your call and I did not get back to you. I was at a funeral of all things. I love you my friend and will miss you. To the family, my condolences. Ann was a great lady. I called her Mom and best friend.
