A devoted mother, wife, and friend,
Ann had a positive outlook on life and was
inspirational to those who knew her and loved her.
She loved her childhood in Atlanta, IL where she
spent many hours on her grandfather’s farm. Her
grandfather taught her to play the piano and playing
the piano became a lifelong love. In her retirement
years, she enjoyed playing the piano at the DuPage
Convalescent Home. Always smiling, Ann enjoyed
spending time with her family and friends. She loved
celebrating Christmas and her grandchildren’s
birthdays making time for each grandchild to feel
loved and valued.
A private burial will be held in Atlanta, Illinois
on December 11, 2021.
Final arrangements are entrusted with Quiram-Peasley
Funeral Home of Atlanta.
