So sorry to hear of the loss of Ann. Ann was one of my best employees at Taco Johns and I always had a special relationship with her and Gene. Many great memories of working with her 5 days a week for years and the talks and laughs that we shared. She was a pistol for sure, but was always a hard worker and fun to be around.
I just learned of Ann’s passing. We spent so many hours on the trails together. So many happy memories of camping with the whole group in their pasture and at Carl’s place. She is reunited with her soulmate now. God bless them and the family.
