Birmingham, Michigan passed away Sunday, March 22, 2020 after living six years at
Brookdale Memory Care Troy. Annamary (known to many of her coworkers as Ann) was born in Flint on December 8, 1928 to Paul and Regina (Lovrench) Degnin. She grew up in Flint with her sister Betty Jean. Annamary graduated in 1950 from the St Lawrence Unit, Lansing, MI of the Mercy School of Nursing of Detroit. She also attended Aquinas College, Grand Rapids, MI and Oakland Community College.
Annamary last worked as an industrial nurse for General Motors Tech Center in Warren, MI before retiring in May 2000. Annamary previously worked at Sinai Hospital of Detroit, Chrysler Corporation and Carboloy Inc. She loved her work since it involved caring for other people. Annamary was most recently a member of All Saints' Episcopal Church, Pontiac MI. Over the years, Annamary volunteered as a Civil Defense Nurse, and at Focus Hope, Crossroads, and many area soup kitchens. Aside from her unconditional love for her
family, we will most remember Annamary for her ongoing desire to fight injustice, poverty, and inequity.
She was preceded in death by her parents, daughter Judith Tincknell, her sister Betty Jean, stepdaughter Diane Doyle, and her husband Kenneth Fox. She is survived by her husband Robert Waldon, her children Karen, Paul and James Fox, son-in-law Charles Tincknell, and stepson Daniel Waldon (May).
She is also survived by grandchildren Teresa, Erin (Marcus), Rachel, Rebecca, Colleen
(Evy), Brian (Jill), Erica (Ryan), Andrea (Stephen), Beth, and Grace (Roman) and greatgrandchildren
Michael, Christopher, Kimberly, Leila, Caleb, Evan, Jackson, Jacob, Hudson, Evy, Ben, and Summer. A Memorial Service will be 1:00 P.M. Saturday, May 7, 2022 at Muehlig Funeral Chapel of Ann Arbor with the family gathering from noon until time of the service. The family would like to thank the wonderful caregivers of Brookdale Memory Care of Troy, and Heart to Heart Hospice. Annamary had suggested those wishing an expression of sympathy may direct contributions to Crossroads of Detroit, NARAL, Planned Parenthood, or your favorite charity.
