Ann hospice sat for my sick husband a few times. She brought her new puppy with her, & it was joy for both she & my hubby. She was a wonderfully kind gal who gave to us when we needed her. My prayers to her family & peace to all.

We are sad to hear of Ann’s passing and would like to express our condolences to her extended family. Anne was a great lady and will surely be missed. We will always remember the many get-togethers including Christmas parties with Anne and Jerry when we were all a lot younger. Great food, great friends and family. Unfortunately, this past week, I had a preventive medical procedure that had the potential of exposing me to COVID. Since it is too early to know if I was exposed, I felt it best to not take a chance on exposing funeral attendees should I come down with it. I would have loved to express condolences in person, see many people I have not seen in quite some time, and also see St. Clair and the great St. Clair river again.

Makenzie, sorry for the loss of your Grandma. You helped Ethel and me at the Little League concession. I remember you couldn't wait to get to your Grandma's party one year and if she was anything like you, she would have had a good time. You were a hard worker and a lot of fun to be with. Take care. Nancy Beaudua.


The kids and all the grandkids and greats were so lucky to have Ann in their lives. The memories of the heart will live on....may she now breathe so much easier...my love to all

My condolences to a wonderful family. Most people say they have great neighbors, I can say one better, Ann was unequivocally A wonderful neighbor and friend. My kids called her grandma Ann when they were younger because she treated them so special as well. I will miss my occational afternoon drink with her, but mostly the loving hugs and encouragement she always offered. We pray for peace for you all, the memories will get you through. I pray for Bella, I know she'll be crying without being by her side. Love to you all. Scott and Robin Bell😘
