Ann was a great person. She served as a town meeting member for years as well as the chair of the Personnel Board. She always gave great advice to our town meeting and assisted many town employees with her thoughtful work on the Personnel Board. May she rest in peace. Thanks Ann.
We will truly miss Ann’s steady hand on personnel matter’s at Town Meeting. She was a person who could bring the Meeting to a quiet because when Ann got up to speak, she had something important to say.
She personified what civic commitment and dignity is all about. I hope her family finds some measure of solace in knowing the great respect and high regard that Town Meeting members held for Ann.
What a loss for all of us. Ann was a great citizen, friend and devoted mother to her 3 children. I always sought her out whenever we shared attendance at a Milton event for her wise, fun and witty conversations. I will miss her.
