Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Ann and I grew up together, from Grade School on…. We were inseparable as young kids and literally took College Hill Park as our own. I have so many memories of our young days of being kids, we had so much fun together and I will always remember her as being my closest friend all through school. Thanks for being a part of my life. My prayers go out to her family at this time.
Wow, I’m in complete shock over this. She was the sweetest woman ever. I enjoyed talking with her whenever she volunteered at the Rockwell Library. Ann, we will miss you so much. I hope you’re at peace.
Ann brought joy to all who knew her. I sang with her in Wichita Broadway Singers for many years. She was a kind and loving person who only had good wishes and kind words for everyone. I’ll miss seeing her on Tuesday evenings.
Dear Family, I am deeply sorry for your loss. I met Ann as she assisted our Church (Plymouth Congregational) with obtaining Easter Lillies and Christmas Poinsettias the last 2 or 3 years. As we were waiting for the delivery of the plants, we would have the greatest chats. Often these chats would last for hours as we were never sure when delivery would take place. I looked so forward to those two times of year, when again I would get to see her and talk to her. I just spoke to her a few weeks ago and she told me of her declining health which I was so sorry to hear. I will miss her, I will miss talking to her, I will miss seeing her, as I am sure you will also. You have my deepest sympathy. You and Ann will be in my prayers. With Sympathy, Elaine Neel
