Young Ann was a compliant daughter, an attentive church member, and an excellent student. She tried hard to be good, but was unable to stop doing and saying wrong things. She knew her lying and harshness deserved God’s judgment forever in hell, but all efforts to improve herself failed.
When she met Jesus at age 27, her life was dramatically changed. She learned that Jesus’ death completely atoned for all her sins. His resurrection meant she too could “walk in newness of life.” Released from guilt and reconciled to God, Ann now loved to talk with Him, feed herself with the Bible, and tell other people how they too could be rescued simply by turning from their sin and trusting in Jesus alone as the source of their acceptability before God.
Ann was burdened by physical suffering for over half her life. But she ministered to people around the world via Internet. Now freed from her frail body, she can undistractedly enjoy and serve the One whom she loves.
She was preceded in death by both of her parents. She leaves behind her sister Linda and brother John; her husband of 43 years, Ward; her sons Brent (Catherine) and Daniel; four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, and many “adopted” sons and daughters around the world.
