To the Entire Family,
Sorry to hear about the passing of Ms. Ann. You are all in my Thoughts and Prayers. I remember the good times that She and Momma ( Felicia ) had when she was her caregiver. Momma thoroughly enjoyed those good times together and creating memories together. I know in my heart that Momma took good care of Ms. Ann . I also enjoyed the visits when I stopped by from time to time. May God Continue to Bless You All. I know firsthand how hard it is when your Momma passes from life on earth into eternal happiness. God is in Complete Control of Every Situation. Keep Looking To The Lord for the Strength and Comfort that He Alone Can Provide.
Randy and I were friends with Ann and Bob for several years. I’m so sorry to hear of her passing, prayers for Brad, (Boo), Christine and family.
We are so sorry for Ann’s passing. Boo and family you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Such a great lady, whom enjoyed talking with and the great advice. She will be truly missed our thoughts and prayers to Boo and the family.
Ms Ann was a dear friend. Joe and I came to know Ms Ann and her husband Mr Bobby at the restaurant in Park City. The first time I saw her, I thought WOW! So impressive, very classy, beautiful, funny, and smart.
Ms Ann taught my granddaughter to crochet and then me.
We were a group at the round table. We solved the world’s problems. LoL. From 8-9 people, only Joe and I are left. That’s sad. I can only imagine what they are talking about.
Ms Ann missed her husband, Mr Bobby, so much. I am glad they are together again. What a reunion!!!
My sweet girlfriend! oh the laughs we had. The shopping and eating out. You can joke with Kerry again. Fly high! You were always such fun to be around
So sorry for the passing of a sweet lady

Ann was my beautiful and smart niece. She was my brother Robert Crumrine
Daughter
I always enjoyed my time with Mrs. Ann. She was such a sharp dresser and so attractive even in her senior years. While her time as a commissioner, she stood strong on her beliefs and seemed to genuinely care for her county and it’s citizens. I know that she will be missed and fondly remembered.
I’m just heartbroken over this…I have lost a great neighbor and friend. When I would get up in the morning and I would see Ann on her front porch. I would grab my coffee and join her. We have had the best conversation on that front porch ever. Ann was a very loving caring person and will be greatly missed by many. Prayers to Boo and his family R.I.P. Ann
