An animal lover and admirer of nature, she especially adored cats and enjoyed watching all types of animals. Ann lived a simple life and found joy in life’s small pleasures, shopping, dining at the Windjammer in Rochester, and indulging her sweet tooth. Mostly spending time with those she loved.

Ann was known for her kind heart, gentle humor, and generous spirit. She was always willing to help those in need and was beautiful both inside and out. She took pride in always being presentable. The family would like to extend a special thank you to her friends at Hannaford for their kindness, support, and friendship over the years.
