Ann always enjoyed her music … it made her seem so very much younger than her actual age. I’ll miss you and will always be glad for the opportunities I had to sing for you.
Ann’s sweet nature and sense of fun made life so pleasant for everyone around her. I’ll never forget her kindness to my mom, and how she’d reach for our hands and give a cheery greeting whenever she saw us. What a positive, wise woman. I hope it gives you comfort to know that her happy spirit will continue to inspire those who knew her.
What a wonderful lady she was! Always so pleasant and never complained, she always found good in everything. I will miss her greatly.
We loved when grandma Ann came to visit Connie and Dave in Sun Prairie. She loved to play chase the ace and she was one tough cookie. We will miss you.
Thanks Connie and Dave for sharing your Grandma with us. wWe enjoyed Grandma Ann and her upbeat personality. She was a wonderful example of how to live a long happy life.

Our deep condolences on your Grandmother’s passing, Craig, Brian and Connie. Ann was an incredible woman, and we hope you will celebrate her life on the 7th. Sincerely, Roger
We want to express our sympathy to the family. We met Ann at her 100th birthday party and could tell she was well loved and cared for to live such a full life. We are neighbors of Pat and RJ and sorry we can’t be with you for the funeral but will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

There are no words that I can use to describe my relationship with your Mom and with your Dad for the last 60+ years. Your Mom was such a wonderful and special person in my life. I hope you will remember all the good times you had with her, because I certainly will. I can see so much of her in you, my friend. I feel privileged to have known her for so many years. My SECOND MOM. With love, Judy
