I first met Ann in 1968 and she interviewed me for a job with Paul Revere. I worked there for 5 years before leaving to have a child. Our working together grew into a long friendship. I spent many Christmas Eves at Ann and Ray’s house celebrating Judy’s birhday. She was the best friend anyone could ever have. Rest in peace Ann. You will be missed.
I have known Ann and Ray for several years from the campground in Chincoteague. You could usually find Ann sitting on her porch.reading a book watching campers either walk or drive by in their cars or golf carts, Many people would wave knowing that she would be on the porch. Some would stop and sit with her for a spell. She always had a good word for everyone and could talk at length. I would ride by with my dog in the golf cart, pick Ann up, and the three of us would ride around the campground just to look around and wave to the other campers. She will be missed by so many, including me. Rest in Heavenly peace my dear friend. Love, Dee
