Ann was married for sixty remarkable years to the love of her life and together they built a life grounded in devotion, joy, and unwavering commitment to one another. Mike and Annie had a love story for the ages. Some of Ann’s happiest days were the simple ones: a quiet date with Papa at Barnes & Noble, leaving with more books than shelves to hold them.Their home was always filled with the aroma of something delicious, Ga was a phenomenal cook, known for her home-cooked meals that brought her family together. She was also an avid reader, crossworder, and traveler, a talented knitter and seamstress, a golfer, and an enthusiastic beachcomber who loved shelling on Sanibel. For over twenty five years, Annie and Mike spent their winters in the sunshine of Sanibel Island, Naples, Little Gasparilla Island, and Siesta Key, creating memories that their family will forever treasure.
