My heart is broken with the loss of Ann. She was such a kind soul who cared so deeply for others. I feel blessed to have known her through the Keene skating rink I coach with. I will treasure all of our talks and her vast knowledge and life lessons. Thoughts and prayers to her family and the many lives she has touched.
❤️Wendy and Skyler Freitas 

Rest In Peace Ann.
I so enjoyed working with you during our time with The Ladies of Ste. Anne.
Gods Blessings for your family.
With kind regards, I remain always,
Ann Hollon

Ann,
 As you rest in peace, I have been thinking of you more now than ever and  I really wish we had more visits when we could. You made an impact on so many people; you were always so reassuring, comforting and very kind. You’ll be greatly missed  and I thank you for all that you gave of yourself.  I am So sad that my true friend has passed; I send my sympathy to all. 
Ann, I Love and miss you,
Sheila

I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of my dear friend Ann.  I don't think I can ever remember a time when I did not know this amazing and special lady! She taught me how to swim at the Clark Memorial when I was little, and years later she became a treasured colleague of mine at Memorial School where I taught 2nd grade and Ann taught 3rd grade.   We shared many students over the years we worked together.  After she retired, she and I  shared very lengthy Christmas cards where we would fill each other in on what was happening in our lives.  I always looked forward to hearing from Ann each year.  She always made me feel so loved with her positive words.  I shall miss her deeply! I know heaven has welcomed another angel home. God Bless You Always, Ann! xo

I can remember chatting with Mom at our teachers'meetings at  Murdock. Always charming  and sincere. My sympathy to your family on your loss. RIP Ann


Dear Barry and family
I am so sad to hear of you moms passing. She was the kindest person I have ever met. Her smile was priceless. I loved when she came  into the shop and have many fond memories of her. 
She will be sadly missed.

Ann was a treasure of Gardner St.  As Tracy Wyman said the years she drove us in her VW Beetle to the Clark Memorial for swim lessons. Teaching us water ballet and choreographing our “dance and swim” shows at her sister Norma’s pool.   Her yard was the home of our neighborhood bbq every summer. Barry I send love  and blessings to you and your family. 

Ann was the most amazing woman. As a child she took me to the Clark Memorial every week for swimming lessons and every single day in the summer for summer playground. She was a huge part of my childhood and the childhood of so many kids on our little dead end street. I have sooo many fond memories of her and my years at the Clark Memorial. Heaven definitely gained an amazing truly wonderful person who was truly an angel on earth!

I have known Ann ever since I attended Keene State College.  She was a very nice woman and always asked about my girls when I ran into her in our latter years.   She did a lot for my ex-husband's cousin, Tracy McWha,  while she was growing up.  Ann was a sweet, gentle soul.  Rest in peace and say hello to La, Rich and Allison who went before you. Prayers for the family.
Sincerely, Joanne Clough (formerly Lecuyer)

There are so many wonderful memories of Ann, I’m not sure where to begin.  I don’t remember the Clark Memorial without her.  She was my swim coach and later on a teaching colleague at Memorial school.  The last time I saw her at the Clark at the reception for her she remembered our names.  She touched thousands of lives with her kindness, grace and humility.  She will always be remembered as a mentor and friend.  May God’s love and the memories we share be a comfort to her loved ones.  She was loved by all who had the privilege of knowing her.  ❤️

I will be forever grateful for the wonderful memories afforded me by Ann  at Wendell  P. Clark  Memorial.    Ann taught me to swim  and was my Synchronized  Swimming  coach.  When I graduated and moved on to Keene State College  she continued to  be there for me..   Thank you ,Ann  for your love  and encouragement.   Love  Marilyn (Hart) Hurley 

I don't think I can really sum up what Ann has ment to our family there really aren't enough words to describe her impact. She came in to our lives at a difficult time and took charge of the emotional and educational aspect of our children and Grandchildren's lives. She was always saying " Can I have the children" I have some lessons  to teach them. She provided them with dancing  skating swimming  you name it. She taught them respect, love and acceptance and most of all etiquette. She would tell the children "Always stand up and greet your guests and walk them to the door as they leave"
 My favorite memories are all the breakfast lunch and dinners we had with her. She was so excited and always had the table set like we were royalty.  I will miss cooking with her we shared that passion! I remember baking pecan pies for 12 hrs with Ann for the church bazaar! Of course everything was from scratch! Ann we love you very much and we will miss you very much. Thankyou for making always us feel loved . You are a true treasure! Love the Nicol's and the Nicol-Beaudin family. 

Mrs Williams, was so kind and full of love towards my family and me.
We’ll  miss her a lot.
Rest In Peace My Dear Mrs Williams.
Sincerely,
Miguel A. Leon and Family 



I think back so fondly on my childhood visits to Ann's house, especially for the weeny roasts! Her warmth, inviting smile, and generous laugh are the lasting impressions I have of her. She loved to hear our little stories and made us feel so important and smart. She would get so tickled that she'd have to wipe her eyes.  She even gave swim lessons to me and my sister. Cara and I love to reminisce about our visits to see our "Keene Cousins".  We truly miss those days and all of our loved ones who are no longer with us. Ann is in good company in Heaven and will continue to bless us with her grace. 

Ann was the kindest and most gentle soul. I remember swimming in her pool. She taught me how to swim actually. I always loved our big family get togethers. The amount of food Ann and Norma  would make could feed an army!! I miss those days and will cherish Ann and the entire family in my heart always. Lots of love to you all. I know she is met by so many loved ones on the other side.

Ann was such a kind, gentle, and loving person and teacher. I was privileged to work with her for many years at Memorial School. She was so dedicated to her family, taking care of her parents and cherishing her son and his family. My heartfelt sympathy goes to her family. May they find peace and comfort during this sad time.

Mrs. Williams was my favorite teacher in all my time in education. She taught me in 3rd grade (the 2nd year she taught, I think) and took the time to notice me. She came to our house for tea, noticed my leadership abilities and shared that with me, and inspired me to be creative. She was amazing at her job and touch many lives in her years of teaching. I went back and saw her before she retired and she took the time to ask about how I was and what I was doing. I am so thankful for the time I got to spend in her classroom. She changed my life forever. 
I will be praying for the family and that God would comfort them.

If there is an express elevator to heaven, then Ann is on it! Her spirit of generosity, kindness, and acceptance was an inspiration to anyone who spent time with her. Dan and I lived in her upstairs apartment during our first four years of marriage. Ann took good care of us during those years and remained a good friend to us. We wish Barry and all of her family comfort during this sad time. And know that we all carry a little bit of her inside of us - her light was contagious. 

Miss Williams was the one teacher who took time out of her busy day  to teach me how to read. She was a very nice person and I will always remember her. 

Miss. Williams, as we fondly called her, was by far my favorite teacher. 3rd grade in a new town and she was just so soft spoken and sweet to all her students, it definitely made the transfer very smooth for this nervous student. I remember her reading Charlotte's Web to us and another stand out memory is that she would have a couple of students come in early once a week, to make a breakfast with her. Her love of her students always shined through. I had the opportunity to speak with her a few years ago, just by chance, and I was able to share what an amazing teacher I thought she was. Truly one of the best. 
I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.

Dear Barry and Family,
I will never forget your mother and my dear friend, Ann Williams.  Thirty years ago I was fortunate enough to be her student teacher. She taught me about teaching , and so much more. It was a beautiful experience.  After graduating college she set me up to rent a room with your grandparents, and I later rented the apartment on the 2nd floor of her house on Gardner Street. I will never forget that brown house and the extraordinary woman who lived there. She was special, cared deeply for others, and was constantly helping everybody.  She had an amazing work ethic, she always did what was right, and she made everybody around her feel special.  People like her are precious and few in this world.  I will always appreciate everything she did for me and others. Heaven  has gained a beautiful angel who has certainly earned her wings in  paradise.  Rest in peace,  Ann. I love you.

Mrs. Williams was my 3rd grade teacher in Winchendon MA. I remember with a smile the first week of school when she told me she was impressed I remembered  her name and could write it. I told her it was because her name was on the board. Also, I remember her letting each student draw a picture on fabric she had gotten and then she made a dress with it and wore it to class. Mrs. Williams was awesome and kind to me.

Barry and family so sorry for your loss, we have so many memories with Ann.  First was her teaching us to swim, as a teacher and mostly as a friend.  My heart is broken that I didn’t get a chance to see her one more time.  Thoughts and prayers to you all.

Mrs. Williams was a lovely lady. She was one of my third grade teachers and then became a colleague. She remembered me even though I was one of the quiet kids. She had a sweet, calm way about her and maybe that’s why she held a place in her heart for such people. My deepest sympathies to her family and friends. 

Mrs. Williams was my favorite elementary teacher.  Her passion for teaching & love for her students was evident every day.  My deepest condolences to her family & friends.

Ann was a wonderful human that I adored.  She volunteered for me at The Community Kitchen. Her smile and support added wonderful energy to the workspace. She gave me a beautiful dish which she said was Italian.  I keep my garlic in it. She also gave me tips on making pie crust. I think of her fondly when I'm in my kitchen, whether it's preparing an Italian meal or baking during the holidays. I'm so grateful to have known her. Love to all who held her dear.

All that I am, I owe to this beautiful soul. I know it was God's plan to meet you. You were such a inspiration to my life. You were always there for me. You taught me how to drive, to continue my education and to follow my dreams. You had faith and believe in me. I truly miss you my friend but I know you are in heaven now watching over your loved ones . I love you my friend, my angel. 

I will remember many tea times and beautiful dinners with Ann. She always made the table so elegantly and was an amazing cook. Ann had the warmest embrace. She made every single person feel that they were special and loved. Ann was one of the kindest people I have ever met. She was truly selfless. I feel so lucky to have known her. Ann was such a treasure and will be dearly missed by the Antonellis family.
