I met Ann at Lasell College in the 60's. We were roommates senior year. Attached are two images of we Nasonites senior year. The summer after we graduated, we traveled together throughout Europe. Later, Ann was part of Peter's & my wedding party.  Likewise I reciprocated. We visited each others' homes, attended classmates' weddings & college reunions. Peter & I first met you, Beth Ann, as a baby in the arms of your proud parents. Over the next 50 plus years, we shared so many times together wih Ann. Mike, Peter & I were so delighted when you became a part of Ann's life. She loved you very much. I'll miss very much, not being able to be in contact with her.   She was funny, beautiful & a very trusted long time friend. We all miss her so. Mike, Beth & family-I hope you can receive peace knowing how many people loved her. She made my day every contact I had with her.

We are so very sorry to learn of Ann’s passing. She was a beautiful person, who always had a smile on her face and was so pleasant to be around. Although we lived near Ann and Mike in Pennsylvania we saw and spent more time with them at Highlands in the Adirondacks, where she will be missed. 

On behalf of the entire extended Kirby family, we offer our deepest condolences to Mike and their family. 

Brian and Mona Kirby

Steve and I have fond memories of playing tennis with you both at the Highlands. We are so sorry for your loss.


Dear Mike - and Beth, Christopher and Stephanie -- it has always been such a treat to have Mike and Ann  at Highlands these past many summers. The dashing Tyler couple was so down to earth, and brought so much class, fun and good spirit to our lives .   And Ann was just the loveliest person to have around.  Mike you are a lucky man to have had such a wonderful  and beautiful partner and I am so sorry for your loss. The Ferguson family sends you all our love, and hope and know that the pain of your loss will one day be salved by the sweet memories of Ann and by all she meant to you.  "God bless" --  as my father would say at these times.  Matt Ferguson 

Dear Mike,
I was incredibly saddened to hear about the passing of Ann. No words can express how sorry I am for your loss. I know how much you loved her. 
I remember so fondly when we would all get together for dinner or a swim. She was such a special person.
She will live in my heart forever.

Maureen and I send sincere condolences to Mike and Anne's extended family. Her love and positive attitude will not only be missed by her family but will also be missed by her many friends.
Maureen and I knew Anne as a colleague at Conestoga High School. I worked with Anne in our department and observed her daily positive interaction with her students. Anne guided her students with diligence and appreciation.
Socially,  we took Anne and Mike sailing on our boat on the Chesapeake Bay.   From all her travels, it was evident that Anne loved adventure and she loved sailing.
Even though Anne is no longer with you, may her memories continue to comfort you.
Michael and Maureen Barry


My mother in law (ex) was kind and considerate and ready to celebrate any excuse to get together with the kids. Her absence will be forever felt and  her presence lives on through our memories of her.  “Grams” may our smiles reflect a bit of yours and brighten up the days of the people we meet. 

Remembering many wonderful trips together and happy times

So terribly sad to hear this news!  Ann was a beloved member of our WOW group in Palm Beach studying the word of God weekly for many years!  So much grace and beauty..I felt like I was in the presence of Audrey Hepburn when I was around her!  I knew her love of Tennis and her kindness and style was ever present!  I know her faith and that she has fallen into the loving arms of her savior and look forward to sharing eternity with her.    So sorry for her family that her life was short lived here.   With Love and Affection  for this beautiful soul............................Love,   Linda Dahl

Mike, I am so saddened to hear of Ann’s death. For 6 years before Covid I saw her at the Women’s bible study at the Royal Ponciana Chapel. She was always a beautiful shining light at the study, and often afterwards at lunch. Her smiling face will always be remembered. We know that now she is at peace and is living in the presence of her savior. Love to you, Ginger Griffin 

MaryCloud Hollingshead and I were old friends of Anns from NJ.  In fact I think we proposed her for the Junior League.  Long time friends and the most current memory was White Water rafting at Lehigh Gorge and various other League events.  I had her number in Nov and did not get a chance to call because I was only there for a weekend. I am so sorry we did not get a chance for a phone visit. Wonderful friend

For Ann's Family,

I am so saddened to hear of Ann's passing. She was a beautiful person, full of joy, and always interested in what others had to say. Her lovely smile lit up a room and made everyone she met feel that they had always known her. She will be greatly missed.
Please know my deepest sympathy is with you in this difficult time.

With love and appreciation for Ann's life,

Clare Mackie

Ann was a dear friend of mine

Ann and I were best of friends in High School and life long friends through thick and thin. Our girls were only a month apart in age and I remember them sharing a playpen while Ann and I visited. 
Over the years Ann was there for me at all the important events of life. In later years Ann organized and often hosted mini High School reunions of four friends. Her bright smile and energy were ever present. 
I’ll always know her warmth, concern, determination, caring, love, hospitality and genuine friendship. It leaves a hole in my heart to think I won’t be receiving another call or text from Ann. 

I remember once, many years ago as my mother in law would say, she was trying to get us all to waterski.   Being from New Jersey we say, Down the shore!   The must of been about 4 of us but could have been more.  All girls.    And, of course, I was the last one to get up.  I tried and tried and finally once I did I had sun poisoning!  I'll always have that memory and many others.  

Dear Mike and family 

we are heart broken  - the world will not be the same without Ann in it .    such  a beautiful kind and elegant woman.   Ann was the first person I met when we moved here.    we both would  do our laps in the pool. 

please know that heaven has another angel.   we are praying for you and your families.  

sincerely
joan and george whipple
