Ann’s family, it was such a pleasure to know Ann. She is one of the most gracious women I have ever known. She was sister in law to my aunt Janet. Every time I was at her home, she had sauce going. She never turned anyone down for a meal and great conversation. How sad I am for your loss, how lucky you are to have had her bless your lives and mine.
TO ANGELA CAROLLA AND THE CAROLLA FAMIY .
SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.MY DEEPEST SYMPATHIES.????????
Rest in peace dear Ann. The Del Verme Family
Will miss Ann. My husband and I took her to the State Theatre for the performances, and I took her to Christian Women lunches. Actually we became friends because I sat beside her a Christian Women’s lunch.
Ann was older than me, but she had such an upbeat spirit, it was fun to be around her. I invited her to join the Hopwood Garden Club and she continued to be a member after I left. A lovely lady!
