Kathy and David, I can still picture that beautiful smile your Mom always had on her face. She was such a sweet lady and one I will always remember fondly. She and Mom could probably write a best seller with all the stories of the many years working at ETBT! Love y’all!
I always reflect back on growing up in Longview, especially being around Aunt Ann. She was a beautiful person inside and out. I spent many weekends at Aunt Ann’s house playing cards, wahoo and other games, especially when Mom Mom was in town. Ann’s house was the “goto” place on Saturdays to watch college football and Dallas Cowboys on Sunday afternoons. There was always plenty to eat and lots of iced tea because she made the best (as well as many great dishes!). Family gatherings during the holidays were often at her house. It was almost kind-of magical especially during the holidays. I’d walk in and there would be a roaring fire in the fireplace, the smell of something delicious simmering in the kitchen and a pie or two on the counter and, of course, her famous iced tea.
Aunt Ann definitely had the gift of humor and could turn anything into something funny. She was, for the most part, my source of many, many jokes and sayings. Some of which probably got me in trouble at home or in school. I spent many times fishing at Lake O’ The Pines with Ann and just about anything that could go wrong in a boat did, but we all laughed our way through it.
Rest in Christ’s love Aunt Ann

David, Kathy and family,
Ann was always such a kind and pleasant lady. She was my customer at Albertsons for many years and I remember our sweet conversations, usually about her kids and Pine Tree School memories. I had not seen her in a long time, but it was always a pleasure to assist her. I'm very sorry for your loss.
Growing up I have such fond memories of packing up the car and heading cross town on a weekend day of fun to visit Aunt Ann, Steve, David, Kathy and sometimes Mom Mom (her Mom) and Uncle Mike. These days would be full of laughter, jokes, stories, games (Wahoo) and sometimes Pine Tree or little league sporting events. Years later we would visit Ann and Ray to catch up on their latest golfing adventures and funny stories that always seemed to accompany them.
The greatest memory of Aunt Ann was how she always brought an infectious smile to all those around her and those who knew her.
God Bless you Aunt Ann
Mother loved the game of golf and picked it up in her fifties. Ray, Mother, and I would play every Sunday (the highlight of the week). The three of us would go on several golf outings just to play different courses. She will be missed, however, she is at peace and in a better place. I love you Mother and I have many fond memories that I am thankful for. Rest in Peace.
I’ve known Ann since I was a little girl. She got her hair done at my mamas beauty shop, Mary’s Beauty Shop. My sister Carolyn and I worked bingo for over 20 yrs. , we saw a lot of Ann. She was a wonderful person, I loved her a lot and I will surely miss her. R I P Ann
Prayers for the family. Caron Searcy
