SENDING OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS TO ANN’S FAMILY. WE REMEMBER ALL THE GOOD TIMES WITH ANN DURING OUR DAYS AT DSS AND THE SPECIAL LUNCHES SHE WOULD BRING TO WORK. GOD HAS A SPECIAL ANGEL IN HEAVEN TO WATCH OVER ALL OF YOU. GOD BLESS!!! LOVE THE TWINS.
The Lord called an angel home. Our thoughts and prayers are with Ann’s family. She has helped so many people in our county. Many generations of families will have stories to share about her kindness and generosity. God Bless Her and her family
This road is never easy and I know you know this. Be comforted by the fact that the pain of your mom’s passing will lessen over time and be replaced by loving, warm memories of her love for all of you and the gifts she gave you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you now and always.
To Billy, Bobby, Sandy and Family….So hard to think of life without your Sweet Mom in it. I loved her as my own Mother and My Dad, Bill Goddard loved her too. Roach and I will be out of town for her services but please know that we send our love to all of you.
Dearest Family
I don’t know where to start to tell you all how much Ann meant to so many of us.Mom is broken hearted her friend and as Ann called her Auntie has gone.Mom so enjoyed Ann’s calls everyday and the companionship she gave to Mom over the years. Ann always sent Mom some kind of seafood, cakes or something to eat.As for Wayne and I she was not just a cousin, but friend and without a doubt the most loving, giving person we have ever seen. She was the caretaker for Wayne’s Mom for many years and the care was so kind and giving, not only did she take care of her she took care of all the Thompson clan and fixed dinner and had it ready when we came to do our shift at night.I know she is already taking care of people in heaven and telling God ,its ok I don’t mind. That’s our Ann. We love her and will so miss her.I hope God gives her loving family so much joy when they look back at so many wonderful memories and help ease their pain.God sure did get a shining angel this time.
Love
Wayne and Joan
Sandy and family:
I am so sorry to hear of Ann’s passing. Heaven has acquired another angel as she surely was one here on earth. She was one of the most giving humans that I have ever known. She was loved by all and rightly so because of her kindness and thoughtfulness towards others. As you know, I worked for her for many years and never did I hear her speak of anyone but good things, she will be missed by many and the pain and hurt you are experiencing now will subside as days go by and the beautiful memories of your Mom will be forever be. May the Lord grant you the strength and comfort in knowing she is with loved ones in Heaven. God Bless.
May God rest her soul, prayers.
I will always remember Ann as someone who truly enjoyed life, loved her family, and cared for others. God surely gave Ann to this world as an example of how we should love Him and love others above ourselves. A person’s heart is shown not by what they say but by how they make others feel. Ann’s heart was filled with love because she made everyone feel special and cared for. When we would come to Maryland and stop by to visit, she would always have soft shells (Jim’s favorite) cooked and ready to eat. She always made me laugh, and feel welcomed and loved. I will truly miss her and our visits to Maryland will never be quite the same, but I know she is now pain free and surrounded by her loved ones in Heaven. I feel truly blessed to have had her in my life and to call her my cousin. Ann, may God carry you on angels wings. Renie and Jim
Like my cousin, Joan, it’s difficult to know where to begin. Ann was a person of a different caliper. To say she was a thoughtful, loving and GIVING person, is just not enough to describe her. During a difficult time in our lives, she was there not only as my mom’s caregiver, but she “took care” of ALL of us, literally–because that’s who Ann was. I’ll never forget her tenderness with mom…she had the patience of a saint! She cared for my mohter in HER home. I’ll never forget that she and Tommy gave up their room so she could have my mother in a hospital bed close to her–amazing. And of course, my mom’s eyes would light up when Daniel and Nicholas would come in and visit with her–that was just icing on the cake. We will always remember what a special person Ann was and be forever grateful for all she did for us. What an example to others. The world has lost someone very, very special.
RIP Anne. Sandy our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time. So many fond memories of your mom. She was a wonderful person who will be missed.
I am like my dear sister Joan. I do not know where to start when it comes to my dear Ann. You could actually write a book about her and her loving gifts of laughter, home made food, love, kindness, anything at all you needed, she was the one who would get on the phone and find out how to get it for you. Mom will miss her so terribly much as she looked forward to her daily calls and just thought the world of her. She told me the other day she was like another daughter and Ann called “Auntie” every day to check on her, and see if she needed anything. Ann would surprise her by sending Bobby by or her being with Bobby and dropping off Mom’s favorite thing in the world. A McDonald’s egg biscuit and senior coffee. lol Of all the wonderful food Ann has ever made, Mom loved it when she brought by that meal. Sometimes she and Bobby would come by and Bobby cooked crabs outside while Ann and Mom played cards. She loved that. But her daily calls are what Mom will miss most. I will miss her voice the most. It was special and soothing and loving always. She always made sure she made me homemade vegetable soup each time I came up to visit. Everyone had their special treat and Ann never disappointed anyone. As my cousin Lois said she certainly was an example of what God wants us all to be like. She showed unconditional love, generosity, giving to others. She was just what God loves us all to be. I am so proud and blessed to be in the same family. R.I.P. Dear Ann and let us take over where you left off as a representative of you to the world in how to treat others. We got this, Ann. The rest of the family will try our hardiest to do you proud. I love you, I miss you already, and I know I will see you again one day. Goodnight my sweet, sweet Ann.
To all of Ann’s family – I know you will miss her immensely. Ann was truly an angel to my Mother, Miriam Thompson, taking care of her for so many years. For that we are all eternally grateful and this includes her family who made sure that she got there every day bright and early. As most people have said, she was one of the most caring and generous people I have known. She had a great sense of humor and an even greater gift of gab and made an awesome coconut cake! Sympathy to you all – Tism and Alan
Sending heartfelt sorrow for your loss, may all the sweet memories, laughs and smiles of Ann bring a sense of comfort to you….remembering her as a wonderful and gentle lady that she was…sending peace, prayers, blessings and condolences.
Anniebo, Billie and family,
Was so very sorry to hear of Nanny’s passing. She was a sweet woman who loved taking care of her family. My little Thea is going to miss her great grandmother but knows she will always be in her heart. May God comfort you now and in the difficult days ahead.

Carla and I wanted to express our deepest condolences for your loss. I never had the honor of meeting your mother, but it’s clear that she was a strong and positive influence on your family and community. You will continue to be in our thoughts as you grieve.
we are so sorry for your loss. Ann was always a ray of sunshine. Always making you feel like she was expecting you, even though she hasn’t seen you in a while. I’m not sure I’ve ever known such a loving, caring family. Praying the angels will wrap you all in their arms and help take away the pain. Even though you may not see her, she’s only a breath away.
Ann,
So sorry for the loss of your mother. If you want to talk, I’m right down the hall. GOD said “In my mansion there are many rooms”, I’m sure she has hers already. May GOD’s peace embrace you.
Ann,
I am so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. From what I understand, the two of you were very close and that is a wonderful gift to have had. I hope your memories and loving time spent with her will help you through this hard time. I am sure she would want you to know that she is at peace. Take care and God bless you and your family.
To all of Ann’s family, my thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
To Sandy and all of Ann’s family. Please accept my sincere condolences upon Ann’s passing and may the Lord give you comfort in this sad time. Ann will always be remembered by me as a second Mom as I was growing up in Piney Point and “runnin the roads”. I will never forget her kindness and her special way of keeping a watch on me! Timmy Bennett
