My wife and I were in New York City recently and I told her a story about a business trip we took there (Ann, me and several of us from BlueCross BlueShield) in 2003. It was an eventful trip and we capped off our stay in the big city with a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge on a gorgeous October morning. Having worn out her shoes on the strenuous hike that fine morning, Ann promptly found a Merrill Shoe Store in NYC’s old Seaport district and purchased 5 pair of her beloved Merrill slip on loafers! Maybe she bought more! All I remember is that I carried 2 pairs of Ann’s new shoes for most of the day – all around NYC! Merrill shoes has lost their best customer! I was glad to carry her shoes that day! She was a special woman and I know a devoted and loving wife, mother and friend. Peace to those who loved her!

Ann, her mom, (my aunt) and I, would go bowling when I was I youngster. We would laugh hysterically as Aunt Maryann had a skip when she bowled. I can still see Ann trying to duplicate her mom’s unique style. Ann was always laughing and am sure she still is. Love you Ann.

Ann Powell was always my very special cousin! I was born on August 4th, 1944 and Ann was born on August 6th 1945… A year and 2 days apart for our births. And two years and 2 days for her departure from this earth. As we grew up, each year my family came to Maine for two weeks. Ann & I were the oldest of the girl cousins and had great times together every summer for many years. Ann was always full of fun and ready for any adventure. Her kids and grandkids adored her, and she loved having them around. She was special to so many of our family members, and her passing left a big void in our family. I will miss her always!
