But she met her new challenges head on and was still an active member of the community. She loved living at the lake and never took for granted the beauty of the area and especially enjoyed outings at Ha Ha Tonka. When she was at home, the squirrels eating at the birdfeeder out her window, brought her lots of entertainment. Ann worked for Wal-Mart for almost 30 years as a people greeter. Always welcoming people with a smile and often holding up an “I love you” sign with her hand. Ann was a member of St. Anthony’s Catholic Church where she could be found on the front row, every chance she could. In her spare time, she enjoyed listening to live music with her family at area restaurants where many of the musicians knew her by name. Ann was a talented artist and created many beautiful paintings throughout the years. She was a loving and a caring neighbor and friend. We celebrate her life and her accomplishments and will treasure the memories she created for her family and friends.
