Returned to the Lord on May 11, 2014 after a lengthy illness. She was a longtime Ballard resident and is survived by Ron Maxell, her husband of 14 wonderful years. She is also survived by her brother, Bill Sutherland and sister-in-law, Karen Luerssen of New York City; sister Kate Sutherland of Whidbey Island, WA; 5 children, Reed and Steven Maxell, Jeff Kirkup, Leslie Avila and Stacy Hudson. She was the loving grandmother of Steven Kirkup, Allison and Howie Hudson of Mississippi and Maranda McGinnis of Seattle.
She will be greatly missed.
Ann's passion was shopping for the best bargains and visiting with family and friends. She was a wonderful story teller and was known for her chapters documenting adventures of family life. Ann was so proud of her husband Ron's leadership roles in the Boy Scouts. She also enjoyed gaming and taking an occasional spin with Michael Jackson, and was rarely without a Pepsi in hand.
The family wishes to thank all our amazing friends for their support over the last three years. A special thank you to the Doctors and Nurses at Virginia Mason Medical Center for their excellent and compassionate care.
