She could make any outfit she desired by sewing, crocheting, or knitting it and many people got to enjoy the byproducts of her creativity. Devoted mom to her kids, hours spent with them camping, fishing, and watching and coaching baseball.
Never without a book, crossword, sudoku or a puzzle, she had such a thirst for information that she enrolled in Malaspina College in her 50’s to get a BA in women’s and liberal studies. Ann was a beloved grandma and great grandma who loved playing games and going to movies with them until her Alzheimer’s made that impossible. Her sense of humor and lovable banter will be missed.
