Ann found so much joy in serving her Lord and Savior in many different children’s ministries like Vacation Bible School and Sunday School at Bethel Evangelical Free Church in Staten Island, NY and then at Cameron Baptist Church in Cameron, SC. She was fondly known as the craft lady as she was a talented creative person. She would make costumes for church plays and made beautiful delicious cakes. Ann had a beautiful voice and a gift for harmonizing as she sang in the choir and duets. She was also active in the Women’s Missionary Union.
Ann loved to travel and her husband and her children have many fun memories of their adventures out west each summer as well as many other vacations. She also collected dolls and enjoyed scrapbooking, especially her vacation photos and she had a passion for reading.
Ann was the daughter of Darrell and Marjorie Holderman (both deceased); and sister to Darrell (Bud) Holderman (his wife, Helen) and Joe Holderman (his wife, Estelle).
She was a wonderful wife to her husband, Richard, of 63 years. Ann was a loving mother to Cheryl Miller, Cindy Salvo (her husband, Rob), Bob Whittier (his wife, Theresa), Ron Whittier (his wife, Cathy) and Rick Whittier (his wife, Tina). Ann was the adoring grandmother of Danielle Stoddard, Jenny McManus, Victoria Salvo-Stolz, Carson Miller, Jessica Salvo, Crysta Salvo, Zachary Whittier, Noah Whittier, Jackson Whittier, David Whittier; and great grandmother to Catelin McManus, Rylee Rivera, Mason Snyder, Alfred Rivera and James Salvo-Stolz.
