I remember the first time I met Ann Nash at her parents’ house in Louisville. I remember we played cards.   Really sweet smart girl. Midge was really proud of her.

Annie, I am shocked and saddened to have learned of your passing today. I was meeting with Kent Price, receiving a plumbing bid and he informed me of your passing. We had some great times together and I will cherish those memories always! You were beautiful both inside and outside. I'll miss your dry sense of humor as well as antiquing with you in Mayfield! The best times were at Lake Barkley cruising around in the pontoon and hanging out with your sister from Louisville! I am a better person having known you. RIP my beautiful friend. See you on the other side!

I’ve just no realized how much I miss my Mimi I was young when she passed and now I miss her more than ever and Ik she’s watching down on me doing my every step. Every time I play a basketball or football game I always think of her cause Ik she’s watching me and cheering me on. And every time I see a cardinal I see her. She’s the best thing I could have asked for she would always play with me when she didn’t want to and I would always jump on here bed😂. But no matter what I did she always loved me. She’s the bestest friend I could ever have nobody in the world can replace her❤️.

Mimi I love you. I’ll see you once again 

Boyd, 
When I think of our Murray State days I always think of you all. There will always be my fun memories with you and Ann. Our condolences to you and the boys.

To Boyd, Bo, Nash, Will, Andy, and Pat-  I loved Ann so much.  She was my second mom growing up.  She taught me to love life, have courage, and to be me.  She encouraged me to go to graduate school and follow my dreams.  She held my hand through some very difficult times in my life.  Please know how much I Love You and wish I could've celebrated her amazing life with all of you.  I hope our paths cross soon.  I still have every single postcard from her as well as the keychain with D.T.R.T.  Love, Molly

I loved A.N.N. Her special uniqueness can be illustrated by the very fact that her initials have always spelled her name!
She was so special in so many ways, but my favorite was the way she loved her children. She was determined to see that they had every opportunity possible.  So when Mayfield in early 80's offered no formal preschool, she was determined to fix it. So, Acorns to Oaks was established... because Ann sat down at her kitchen table and wrote request to the likes of Queen Elizabeth, Chris Everett (hot tennis player at the time) and asked for a donated item such as an autographed tennis shoe (which she got!!) and so her boys had a preschool!!! She held a Celebrity Auction and began that preschool!!
I felt so lucky to be her friend and also have her enrich my kids, too. I love Ann Nash Neely and her family. Thank you for letting me know the likes of you!!

Pat and Andy, My heart and thoughts go out to you and the whole family. Much Love

So sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and hearts.

Pat, Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Andy and your family.  Very sorry for your loss.

Met Ann when she worked with the ju kevil center when my son josh went there in 1992.   And I ran into her 19 years later and she remembered my son!    I will always remember her driving the ju kevil bus on a field trip singing 'wheels on the bus'.    Prayers to your family.

I am so sorry about the passing of Ann. I though highly of her. I knew her when she started a pre-school; and, when she worked at the PADD. She was a delight. Janet Smith (Mayfield)
