What a sweet, thoughtful lady she was! She always had a smile to share and was always friendly to me. I admired her courage and strength as she fought illness. She will be missed by her church family at Avondale First Baptist.
Much love to Gerald and family….

Sincere sympathy to Ann’s family and friends. We were classmates in high school in Macon and she was loved and respected by her peers. BETA Club members have great memories made while helping her campaign for – and win – State BETA Club Secretary! Praying for Grace and Peace for everyone that loved her!

Gerald & Family; Helen & Family – – We are sorry to learn of Ann’s illness and death. As a classmate of J.W.’s in Macon, GA, we were able to keep up with her, but missed her at their last one, their 75th birthday party for Miller-Lanier graduates. Our parents were also friends of her parents back in 1930’s in Thomaston. Ann was much like her parents and her aunts, the finest example of a Christian woman. Nursing, caring for others, was truly her ministry, and I know she will be sorely missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
