Most of all, Ann absolutely loved her family. She thoroughly enjoyed spending her later years near Jamie and his family. Whether she was first in line at her grandchildren's school for pickup, attending their games, teaching them to garden, or taking them out for lunch, she was always there for them. She especially treasured her weekend visits with her adult granddaughter Jessica and sharing family meals. Her generosity, sharp wit, wonderful sense of humor, and unconditional love and support will be deeply missed. As in her life, Ann never wanted to make a fuss. In keeping with her wishes, the family will honor Ann's request not to have a funeral service and will plan a celebration of her life at a later date.
