Ann was a very special lady. She was a great pal, very supportive, kind, funny and hardworking. Nothing was too much trouble for her. Her poems were brilliant, some so thoughtful, some hilarious! I adored her garden, as did Ann. A little haven.
She adored her family, and spoke about them often.
Will miss you lovely. Xxx

Sending deepest condolences to my lifelong friend Meriel and everyone who knew and cared about Ann. I got to know her in my teenage years. As Mez's Forest school pal, I was welcomed into the Cross family's home and holidayed with them. Ann was always extremely kind to me. A sparky, fun and warm woman. Now free from suffering.

Ann was the type of lady who everyone would love to have as a neighbour.
We were lucky to have Ann as our neighbour for a number of years.
So caring on helpful.
The love of her family was everything to Ann, followed by her love of dogs.

Genuinely a beautiful person.

Rest in peace lovely lady.
With love Sheelagh & Keith x x 💐
