Ann was a beautiful souL to all those that had the Grace of meeting her ( whether, or not, they could admit it, which was a problem , especially, during the high school years ). Most people are so immature during their high school years, unlike Ann. I met Ann through Saint Peter's CCD Classes & Sherwood High School. I will always remember going to an Amy Grant Concert & a Julian Lennon Concert with her - great times! Ann took her job as a teacher of children so seriously that it was a vocation to her. Employment in a human service field should always be treated as a vocation by everyone! God is now missing a ray of warm sunshine on Earth but, we all have gained an advocate in Heaven! May we all try to become a ray of warm sunshine, too! My Prayers are going out for all those heartbroken by Ann's passing-on.

Ann,
I’m heartbroken beyond words. You were a truly an amazing friend and our friendship will never end as it remains in my heart. You were a fighter and you fought right till your last breath. May you rest in peace and may your smile continue to shine on the ones you’ve left behind. Love you!!!

It is with great sorrow that we all say goodbye to a darling girl who spent every day of her life being kind and bringing joy to every person she met.
I've known Ann since I was 16, and in all of those years she has done nothing but make me smile. It is such a rare quality to genuinely possess a heart and soul that is made of nothing but pure sunshine, and Ann was one of those people. It's as though a small piece of the sun died the day she left us.
The solace that I cling to is knowing that she is in Heaven, cradled in God's loving arms, knowing no pain and only knowing love.
If anyone ever deserved a forever that was full of beauty and light, it is Ann.
May God bless her soul and bless all of us who knew her as we were the lucky ones to have had her in our lives. I will miss you sweet Ann. You were a treasure and an angel on Earth.

Ms. Ann,
I've said prayers for you daily & even lit candles at churches in Germany, Japan and Greece for you. You never once had left my mind. Doug, I am so sorry for your loss. While I know there's nothing I can say/do that will make this any easier, I do know that heaven has gained an AMAZING angel.
She was blessed to have you and you both complemented each other so very much. Thank you for welcoming me and our kiddos into your 'family,' especially while my spouse was deployed. Ann used to watch my kiddos for me (2011-2013) while my husband was away. Such a loving spirit. Miss her tons!!!
Please take care & again, I'm sorry.

'Miss Ann' took care of my kids at Kindercare for many years. She always asked about them over the years and they remember her fondly. She will be missed by all. The world needs more Miss Ann's. Rest In Peace, lovely lady.

Paul and I are deeply saddened by the news of Annie's passing. She was the first babysitter Andy and Josie had. She was wonderful and loving with the kids and they knew it and loved her. She truly did what she did out of love. God now has a true angel in His kingdom.

What a wonderful person, I am blessed and honored to have known her. She brought a smile to my face every Saturday morning at the gym and really touched so many people with her infectious smile. God was in need of an angel and He now has Ann.

I have fond memories of driving Ann to and from Frostburg during our college days. She was with me and cheered me on when we had a blow out on 68. She was always full of love and never without a smile. Prayers and strength to her family.
