A truly amazing lady will be sadly missed 💔

God bless you Ann such a lovely lady. Rest in Peace

Les, our heart felt condolences on the loss of Ann, another one of the original gang gone, the lights flickering was probably Len trying to figure out how to turn on the lights above the dart board and get a game going like the get togethers I grew up with. I will always look back with fond memories of the weekly Snooker/darts/bbq parties with You, Ann, Paulene and Alf and Mum and Dad. Unfortunately we where unable to make the trip but where able to watch the live stream. Love Mark and Linda.

Ann you are going to be missed by so many people and I for one will miss our little chats on WhatsApp I was looking forward to chatting to you on your Birthday, will still wish you a happy birthday on the 17th Rest in Peace my friend you will never be forgotten love you xx

Goodnight and God bless lovely Ann. Such a funny,beautiful and loving soul. Sleep well. Condolences love and hugs sent to Les,Angela, Jeff and Pauline. X

From the very first days as babies, a friendship was born that would last a lifetime — over 80 wonderful years of shared laughter, memories, and love. Through every stage of life, they watched each other’s children grow, shared in the joys and sorrows, and never let distance come between them. Even after Ann moved all the way to New Zealand, the bond remained unbroken — the phone calls, the letters, the laughter across the miles. The banter was always there, warm and familiar, just like the old days back in South Bank, Middlesbrough. She was loved to bits — for her kindness, her humour, and her loyalty. A true friend in every sense. The memories, the laughter, and those treasured stories of South Bank will live on forever in our hearts.
