Ann was a neighbor of ours on Shenandoah Shores Road for many years and a good friend for decades. We loved her, and we will miss her, though we hope to join her in the Kingdom of Our Lord in His Mercy.
I’m glad I got to meet her before her passing. One of the happiest moments in my life. Meeting my biological family. She’ll be forever remembered and missed. Love you grandma! ♥️
