She is a special lady to all who know & love her. I wish I could have made it to her funeral. These are some of the things I keep thinking of. My mother (Liz Tippit, her sister closest to her in age) and she were very close growing up and still until my mother died so long -50 years- ago. She and my mom looked a lot alike. I only have the most warm, fun, happy memories of time spent with her. To me she was always my aunt, "Lily Ann." She never told me different. I can't help my tears falling when I think of her on and off through these last few days. She was a good part of my childhood, in summers especially, and with Debbie and Gary. I know she is with them. I believe she is in heaven now. I can see her, as she is in my memories, laughing with all those she loved. They are now no longer suffering but whole and happy. She had more than her fair share of painful times in her life but she still was always so warm, smiling, kind and giving to everyone. She's in many of my best and happiest memories. One of my (many) warm memories is when she and her 3 other sisters, my mom, Beverly, & Rosalyn, would get together, although not often since we lived in Houston. They would sit and talk and there would be so much laughing! I think she surely cried a lot -so many funerals for one thing. But I remember her smiling and laughing a lot as well. Mostly I can remember the feeling of her warmth and kindness. Helen Tippit Cieloszyk, her oldest neice

My sons, Buddy and Steve Cook were in the same age range as the Travis's. We were all members of Lakeshore Baptist where your parents worshiped. I miss her attendance at church and her sevice at Flair as well. She was a sweet and very pretty lady I know you will miss.

Karen and Lane, Rosalyn and Beverly, sorry to hear of Ann’s death. She was a wonderful person and family member. Our family is getting so small. I remember Ann selling us our wedding rings at Flair Jewelers. Wishing you peace, comfort and love. Millicent Douglas
