Ann was a natural caregiver and a lifelong member of Antioch FWB Church. She worked for Ruth’s Chapel daycare for over 20 years and taught hundreds of children over the course of her life.

Her passion for music led her to sing alto for the gospel group “Travelin’ On." Later she served as an officer for the Eastern NC Bluegrass Association located in Kinston, NC.

Ann was preceded in death by her parents, Louise and Thadd Tripp; daughters, Kathy Lynn and Kerrie Lee Banks; and brothers, Glenn and Paul Tripp.

The family will receive friends at Antioch FWB Church on Saturday, June 29th from 1 to 2 p.m. with service to follow at 2 p.m. with the Rev. Jerry English presiding. Burial will be at Greenleaf Memorial Park.
