Born in Odessa, Texas, on August 17, 1947, Ann grew up in many cities across the United States as part of an oilfield family before graduating from Enid High School in Enid, Oklahoma. Known for her big and gentle heart, she was a resilient and deeply thoughtful woman who found joy in life’s simple, meaningful moments—whether spent reading a good book, watching Star Trek, doing yard work, feeding the animals, or crocheting warm blankets for the people she loved. Above all else, her greatest passion was creating beautiful memories with her family.
She is survived by her sons, Chip Gilley and wife Shena, and Chris Gilley; granddaughter, Alyssa Gilley; sister, Francie Pope; brothers, Buddy Abshier and wife Vicki, John Abshier and wife Carolyn; along with many cherished family members.
Ann was preceded in death by her beloved parents, T.C. and Wanda Abshier; her brother, Bill Abshier; her brother-in-law, Cooper Pope; and her devoted husband, Robert P. Graham.
A visitation will be held on Saturday, December 5, 2026, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM at Cashner Funeral Home & Cemetery, located at 801 Teas Road, Conroe, Texas 77303.
