Anna Marie LaLone

She was born April 28, 1943 in Everett, Wash., to Elmer and Violet (Strangeland) Thompson. she lived in Marysville while raising her children.

Ann showed her incredible work ethic by continuing to work in her career in insurance up to the time of being hospitalized. She was one who couldn't be slowed down, She shared that in all she did. She was just tough as nails.

Ann enjoyed being outdoors, working in her yard, enjoying the beach, especially the Beach's in Cabo. It was her infectious smile, wonderful heart with a hug that you would never forget, and will be missed by so many.

Her love for her family was the core of her existence, family first was the way she lived her life. Ann would do or give anything for her family, and sent that message to all around her. Teaching her family constantly that you need to be a fighter and one of a kind~which she was! Ann leaves her sister and best friend, Jean Milless; brother-in-law, Tom. She raised three children, Tami Wolfe,(husband, Chad), Jeff LaLone (wife, Annie), And Tracy Adams (husband, Kelly), and the love of her life in her later years..her Grandbabies...she called them..even as they reached adult hood: Autumn Hartley, Brad Lovell, Zach LaLone, Cortney Walker, Blake Lovell, Cami LaLone, Dylan Wolfe, Cassidy Wolfe, Kelcy Adams, and nine great grandchildren, all who are broken hearted with their loss of their Granny Ann.

Funeral service will be held at 10 a.m. Friday, June 13, 2014 at Purdy and Walters with Cassidy, 1702 Pacific Ave. Everett.
