Ann lived in a number of places throughout her long life – Arlington, Brookline, Milton, Canton, and Stoughton, Massachusetts; Poland Spring, Newry, Riley Township, and Portland, Maine.

She leaves behind her sister, Carole, daughters Karen, Lisa, & Diane, son David, grandchildren Molly, Gaia, Sam, Daniel, and Matthew, great grandchildren Oliver, Arya, and Aviv, and longtime partner, Alan.

Some of her many passions were skiing, horseback riding, fly fishing, gardening, and animals.

Though we are sad, it was her time to go and we hope she is happy and warm wherever she is!
