Ann was a vibrant, happy and fun loving lady. She was always the life of the party in a group of us at PHS. I have a lot of fond memories of Ann. When you sometimes recall memories of your youth, Ann is one that still brings a smile to your face.

Ann and her family were friends with our family since I can remember.  Our parents played bridge together among other things.  I remember one night we were supposed to be going to a dance at Leito's and my Dad was taking me and picking up Ann.  I had gotten an empire green polka dot dress with smocking at Neiman's and when Ann came our of the house - she had on the exact same dress!  She didn't bother to go back inside and change and we laughed about it for years!  I had sent a Reunion postcard to her after finding her address as a member of the "Search" Committee and had really hoped she would come.  I also found her brother on FB and asked him to please send her my email address, but he said she didn't do email.  I pray that she is at peace and that she didn't suffer before her death.  She was a very dear friend and will be missed by those who knew her.  Nancy

I am so saddened to hear this about Ann.  We grew up in the same neighborhood & attended Lily B., McLean, & PHS together. We remained friends after high school thru some difficult times. I have only the fondest memories of our times together.  My prayers to Patty &  Jimmy & all of Ann's family. I wish I was near so I could  attend her services.  Rest in peace, Ann. Your friend, Kathy
