Ann was a compassionate, kind, and loving person, who spent her life serving others. She worked at Robinson Memorial Hospital for 26 years before retirement, and also served the City of Ravenna as Health Nurse until retiring after 23 years.

Ann is survived by her husband Waldo, and her daughters Laurie (Neil) and Tracy. She devoted her life to her daughters, showing them all of the wonders and possibilities of this world.
