Ann V. Griffin

Ann Griffin, a beloved and cherished wife, mom, sister, aunt, and grandmother, passed away February 7, 2026 at the age of 86. Born April 23, 1939, in Charlotte, Michigan, Ann was known for her kind-hearted, generous, and selfless nature.

In October of 1968, Ann married her husband, Ted, and they shared 47 loving and faithful years of marriage, raising two beautiful children to whom she dedicated her life.

Ann attended and graduated from Spring Arbor College. She was very active in her church, demonstrating her servant and helpful qualities through her involvement. Ann was a devoted homemaker, nursing assistant, and daycare attendant for many years. Her career was marked by her hardworking, Christian spirit, which she carried into all areas of her life.

In her personal time, Ann loved gardening and cooking, activities that brought joy to her life and to those around her. During Thanksgiving and Christmas, Ann delighted in a cherished family tradition—bringing everyone together around a jigsaw puzzle that was worked on and enjoyed by all. Her faithful and brave nature left a lasting legacy that will be remembered by all who knew her.

Ann will be lovingly remembered by her son, Greg (Karyn) Griffin; granddaughter, Kait Halverson; daughter, Holly (Neeraj) Bhargava; grandchildren Griffin and Ellora Bhargava; sister, Jean (Gene) Fields; and many nieces, nephews, and extended family members.

A celebration of life will be held in the spring; please check back for dates and times. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to the Dementia Society of America in Ann’s honor: (https://www.weremember.com/ann-griffin/3c7x/memories).
