Ann had a successful career as an accountant for over 20 years, where she was known for her intelligence, quick wit, and strong work ethic. She dedicated her life to family and enjoyed traveling the world, embracing every moment to the fullest.
She is survived by her son, Jay Pritchett (Andrea); her grandsons, Cody Pritchett and Casey Pritchett; and her sister, Pat Daoud. Ann was preceded in death by her parents, Columbus and Bonnie Bates, and her brothers, Bill Bates and Jimmy Bates.
A private family celebration of her life will be held at a later date.
