“I retired in 2004 and left the country to live in Panama. I heard belatedly of Ann’s death, but did not know this page existed. To the Family, my wife and I extend our condolences. Ann was a loyal, faithful and effective employee when we worked together in Residence Life at Howard University. She was dependable and honest. I remember how she used creative thinking to solve a particular problem that had existed for a long time. That solution is still in effect today. Ann, you did more than your duty required. Now you can rest. R.I.P. “Dean Keene””
