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
