Ann lived a full life as a wonderful mother, sister, aunt, homemaker and caregiver. She had a servant’s heart – there was room in her heart for everyone.  She was involved in her local church, caring for the elderly, making meals, visiting, inviting people into their home and lending a listening ear.

1 Cor 15:58 – Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
