I spoke with Ann about a month ago. She told me of some of her troubles but I had no idea of the severity. Ann was so much fun, she really did sparkle and bring zest to the workplace but also could get the work done. She will be missed.

Jeff & Family - I am so sorry for your loss. Ann was an amazing person to say the least. She had a zest for life that was infectious, a sense of humor that kept us all on our toes, a work ethic that couldn't be matched and more than anything was a friend through and through. She will be missed by all. Sincerely, Paul Dougherty

I'm so shocked and surprised that the world has lost you, Ann. I feel like we grew up together and in the midst of all those crazy times you were always solid and reasonable. you were sweet and so easy to love. I'm very sorry for Jeff and I know you hated to leave him. Now you are together again with your dear sister and you are both whole and healthy again. I will pray for the comfort of your husband and your family and I know we will see each other again. God bless you dear friend and sweet journey.

Good-bye my dear friend. I remember the day we met: it was our first day at nursery school with Kelly. We went on to Brownies, Patrick Henry and Edison Jr. High. I'm grateful to have reconnected with you in the last couple of years. I know that your family and friends will miss you terribly, but Kelly will be so glad to see you.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Ann's family. This was such a shock. I would see her in the hallway and she would always say "Hi Gladys". I knew her more when I was working 2nd shift. I will miss seeing her in the hallway. Take care.

Dear Ann, You finished the course too soon. We wanted to see you have a nice long run. Alas, it was not to be, but you DID touch so many lives and for the better. Full throttle and clean runs, Ann! ~Matt

She worked for me when she first came to BOK. Just a kid. What a hoot. Sorry to hear this, I was deeply saddened.
