Ann grew up in a happy home, was an exceptional student, and enjoyed painting and drawing from an early age. She even made pictures of Disney characters for the nurseries of her niece and nephew! She loved spending summers at the family lake house, working outdoors and boating. She had a beautiful singing voice as well as her artwork.
In her professional life, she was an indispensable employee of Mead Packaging, an Executive Secretary to a Vice President of the company, and retired from there after 30 years of service. Instead of taking a trip around the world, which she always wanted to do, Ann stayed at home and cared for her aging mother and her younger sister who were in fragile health. Always the caretaker, she made sure they had every need taken care of and ensured they made every doctor visit. Her mother lived to be 95 years old, passing away peacefully in her sleep in her own home and in her own bed. Ann was able to give her mother a comfortable and peaceful life in her later years because of her sacrifices.
She had the most giving and loving heart, always concerned for others over her own needs. She enjoyed coloring and drawing, and always appreciated nature, and the beauty of the world around her. Her innocent outlook on life is an inspiration to us all!
Ann departed this life on April 21, 2018 and leaves to cherish her memory her sister, Carol Sutton; nephews, Michael Sutton, Eric Werl, and Karl Werl; nieces, Kristen Henshaw and Rachel Werl; nephew-in-law, David Henshaw; niece-in-law, Jennifer Sutton and their children. She was preceded in death by her mother and father; brother, Vincent Werl, Jr. and sister, Ursula Werl. A funeral mass will be held on Friday, April 27 at 11 AM at St. Oliver’s Plunkett Catholic Church with visitation 1 hour prior. In lieu of flowers, please make donations in Ann’s honor to either the Special Olympics (give.specialolympics.org) or St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital (www.stjude.org).
