Ann loved everyone she met but she especially loved her children and grandchildren. She was known to neighbors and friends as ‘Momma Ann.’ She never met a stranger and she touched the hearts and lives of many people over the years one way or another. She loved to shop; she loved to fish; she loved the Atlanta Braves and she loved George Jones. She was a ‘strong willed lady’ as she fought cancer and always lived her life to the fullest. There is no doubt that ‘Momma Ann’ will be greatly missed by all those who loved her and knew her.
