Ann was such a kind, welcoming, and generous soul. She was always up for a laugh and never hesitated to lend a hand when someone needed it. She made me feel like part of the family every time I visited, and we always had such great chats that I’ll truly miss. Whether we were having a good chat or playing Xbox, she brought warmth and joy to so many moments. Rest in peace, Ann. -You’ll be deeply missed, but never forgotten.

My Aunty Ann - I have the most sweet and fond memories as a child of my Aunty . Ann was always in my world and my sister’s world . I have very little memories of my mother and father as a child but I have many many pockets of memories of being with Ann. From going out to the Campbell’s farm where her horse Champ was having his best life , to visiting friends and family , to sleep overs in the city . Ann , too me was a social butterfly . So happy and full of life and always on the move . It felt like she knew every one we crossed paths with and she would stop and make time to chat Her life rotated around her horse Champ - a beautiful chestnut who was kind and wise and gentle as a breeze . Just like Ann . There was always some thing horse orientated - whether just tending and grooming Champ too being with the Twins when they were riding in Competitions travelling around. I spent many a day with Ann just being her little shadow , in awe of her . Her laugh … I loved her laugh . So warm and infectious . It matched her beautiful smile. So quick with a joke and followed by laughter .Ann had a certain charm and warmth that always radiated around her . Ann was gentle , kind , understanding, warm …. A plethora of those feel good words - That was Ann’s essence - Aunty Ann was my rock and my safety net. There were times she would go off on her adventures , working down the city or her adventure to travel around Australia but got as far as WA where she pulled up stumps and seemed like for ever she was way to far away from me . But Ann always came home - Aunty Ann , always and I mean always gave sound advice - and you knew it came from her heart and soul , always out of love and common sense - she never was condescending or making out she was above me - it was always spoken in a way where she was passing on her knowledge , her wisdom and always in a way where she sounded way older than age - Ann was an old soul in a young body -, in my early years I didn’t really follow what she advise me to do - but certainly in my adult hood , I took on all her her sagely words - Aunty Ann was still my rock - always had my back and always stood beside me , and yes when I did something not so smart - her quick wit always pulled me up , to say - Jen , that wasn’t a very smart thing to do . There were the years , where I was off doing my life with raising five children - And making my way through life , which i probably could have touched base more . In recent years , we have had more regular contact - she was always a phone call away and I still confided in her and sort out her wisdom . Aunty Ann was nothing short of amazing in my eyes - her insight was phenomenal and spot on . My little sister , fell ill only a few months back - the long term prognosis was not good . We were given 9 months at the most . When Ann received the news Suzie was declining rapidly , Ann came to us in Brisbane ( I wasn’t told Ann was on her way ) Unfortunately my sister passed away before Ann arrived - but I needed Anns support , more than she will ever know and when I saw her in the car with my niece - I knew that I was going to be ok . But the Universe has other plans installed - I will be forever grateful I had the last 38 hours with her . We laughed , we cried, we giggled, we reminisced, we had secret whispers and huge bursts of laughter . I now hold space for you , My Aunty Ann , to go forth back to the ethers where your soul can keep doing what it needs to do . Your smile, you laugh , your sagely words will forever be part of my thoughts . Love has no boundaries nor time space …. Aunty Ann’s energy will always be part of us now. Held dear that we were allowed to be part of her earthly world. Rest easy Aunty Ann , we will met again some day . I love you . Your neice Jen
