Ann Taylor

It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of Ann Taylor on Friday, March 4, 2005, at the age of 87 years. Ann was preceded in death by her husband Jack; parents William and Grace Beck; sisters Mary Balon and Sarah Anderson.

Ann leaves to cherish her memory her nieces, Beckie Pasipanki, Williamsburg, Va., Lisa Begley, Orlando, Fla., and Sally Smith, Port Republic, Va.; and her nephews, Kenneth Hare, San Clemente, Calif., and Jack Noble, Sarasota, Fla.

Ann was born in Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 1, 1917. She married Jack Taylor in 1950. They lived in Ardsley on the Hudson, New York, until their retirement when they moved to their ranch in Swan Lake and then to Eagle Bend. They were truly at home in Montana.

Ann moved to Bay Village of Sarasota, Fla., in 2002 to be closer to family. Ann had a great love of painting and over the years has painted many beautiful pieces that live on with her family and friends.

A celebration of Ann's life will be held by her family at a later date.
