Ann Armstrong was a gracious Southern lady who treated everyone with kindness. She lived the teaching of her faith in loving the Lord and her neighbor. Her grandchildren delighted in spending time with her as they were growing up. Memories of fishing, playing games, eating cheese straws, and trips together will be forever in their hearts. Her children will remember her as a great encourager and a model of selfless living.
The family would like to express sincere appreciation to the caring staff at Angels for the Elderly and Hospice of Montgomery.
