Ann Marie Wells

A funeral service will be held on December 7, 2024, at 2:00PM at Roswell Funeral Home, with visitation beginning one hour prior. Following the service, Ann will be laid to rest at Green Lawn Cemetery.

She was born on December 5, 1943, in Orlando, FL to the late Gilbert and Marie Sawyer. A true daughter of the south, she lived her entire life throughout the southern US, which had shaped her vibrant spirit.

She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Spanish from North Texas University and worked most of her professional career as a Buyer for Pizitz Department Stores, where she later retired. Mimi enjoyed flowers, gardening, feeding her many hummingbirds, sports of all kinds and was an avid fan of the University of Alabama and ended many of her conversations with her spirited “and Roll Tide!”

A devoted mother to five children and a loving grandmother, Ann’s life was deeply rooted in her family. A dedicated member of Al-Anon for over 30 years, she served as a sponsor and a mentor inspiring others with her commitment to the principle of living “One Day at a Time”

She is survived by her children, Ann Girard, Richard Wells (wife Mireille), Robert Wells (wife Laura), Angela Florence (husband Dan), and Tanya Wells (husband Mohammed); her grandchildren, Tascha, Gavin, Michael, Joseph, Nathaniel, Johnathan, Rachel, Nick, Ava, Jared and Chris; and her great grandson Archie. She is also survived by her siblings, Buddy, Tom and Sue. She was preceded in death by her parents Gilbert and Marie Sawyer and her son-in-law, Stephen Girard.
