How sad am I to have learned of Ann's passing going on a year after she has been gone. I have such wonderful memories of my time at Harding, and the wonderful way Ann always treated my husband and myself. She was never too busy for us. I know she is greatly missed by you, her family. She was a dear soul and I will never forget her gracious and caring spirit.

Ginann and Tim, I have so many wonderful memories of your mom. We shared so many happy times together and some sad ones, too. I remember we shared Bible scriptures to comfort each other in our sad times. We worked together for many years and she, Jane Musick and I looked forward to our Friday nights out to eat. When we could no longer get together, we enjoyed staying connected with our daily or nightly phone calls. She was truly a best friend. I will miss her so much. Please know my love and prayers are with you at this time.

I just heard, and I’m so very sorry. I loved Mrs. Ann since my days at Harding back in 1989, and recently reconnected at Harding Place. She will be missed.

“How do I love thee! Let me count the ways!” Ann was so dear to me and loved
by so many. We worked together, laughed
and cried together. She was truly a good
friend. She loved and cherished her family
and also her friends. I will truly miss her.
I’m so thankful for the sweet memories.
May God bless her family in their great loss.
