We are saddened by the passing of Ann. She was an inspiration to us all with her lust for life and her positive attitude. We will be miss her.
Ann was a great supporter and friend in my time at Assumption. I could always count on her for a “knowing smile” and a twinkle in her eye. May she rest in peace!
Ann was a good friend for many years. We enjoyed many luncheons and dinners together. She had a positive attitude and was devoted to her friends. She was clear as a bell mentally and we had many good discussions on politics and other topics Thank you Ann for your support over the years/
I worked with Ann for many years in the Statistical Dept. at Kodak Offices on State St. She kept up with all employees and she started to gather former employees for lunch in May & Nov each year. I eventually took over the job but remained close and needed her help and knowledge in finding former employees. I will miss her–she helped me so much when I started work there. I had just graduated high school and was enrolled at RIT. I liked her and the job so much that I decided to go to night school to get my degree. Good times!
I came to know Ann as she was a friend of my mother and I will always remember her cards, notes and ability to remain a steadfast friend. I will miss her and extend my condolences to all of her family and friends.
Ann will be sadly missed
She was my godmother & my vey special garding angel.
I became acquainted with Ann when I joined the Flower City Chapter of IAAP (International Association of Administrative Professionals. She was a sweet lady who always had a smile and a kind word.
Ann was a great comfort and friend to me when I was new to Rocbester, NY in 2015. How I treasured spending time with her at both Linden Knolls and The Friendly Home! Despite our difference in age, we just loved sharing dining experiences in the area. Our favorite road trips were to Michael’s Valley Grill, The Red Ossier, various pizza joints, and Bill Gray’s! There are so many additional restaurant recommendations from Ann that we look forward to enjoying in the near future. Cheers to our dear friend Ann!
As she often reminded us, Ann was my second cousin once removed but she was more like an aunt and grandmother to our family when we moved to the US after 6 years abroad without relatives. Ann was a truly kind and gentle woman who was greatly amused and engaged in our busy lifestyle babysitting and attending family celebrations, school events, and horse shows. Even after we moved to Atlanta , Ann stayed in touch with regular letters and cards, and even a visit. We will miss sharing with her and her inevitable wide-eyed “Oh my!”. All our love forever. The Osbaldeston Family
So very sad to hear of Ann’s passing. I knew Ann primarily through the Flower City Chapter of IAAP (International Association of Administrative Professionals). Ann was the Chapter President when I first joined in 1962.. Ann was our Chapter Historian for many years. We later started a Retirees’ Social Group meeting monthly and Ann always made sure we had a volunteer to host our luncheon gatherings. We had so many wonderful memories together. Condolences to all Ann’s family and friends.
