Ann was born a coal miner’s daughter; a disposition that sculpted her character which radiated a sense of honesty, integrity, fairness and grit that influenced everyone around her. Ann wore her honesty on her sleeve; unnerving to the disingenuous , but refreshing to the rest. She passed down an inherent set values from which a lifetime of observation and practice can collectively be summarized as this; You are not better than anyone else, but no one else is better than you. She passed down and sense of being and humility. A sense of strength and modesty. A sense of fairness and humanity.

Ann will forever be missed, always emulated, and never forgotten. We will miss you dearly, Love Everyone
