Ann Hayes' Obituary

Ann was a member of Crosspoint Church of Christ. During the ‘60s and ‘70s, she was a member of Gem City Sweet Adelines, which she was always proud of. Sweet, caring, and loving, Ann greatly enjoyed working on jigsaw puzzles and music. She especially enjoyed playing the piano and loved her family. Always fond of animals, she cared for many cats during her life. Among many things, she will be remembered for her love of the color purple.

She is survived by her daughter, Marie (Edward) Sumpter; son, Robert (Tamra) Cunningham; 15 grandchildren, 25 great-grandchildren; two brothers, Lon Hinshaw and Les (Kaye) Hinshaw; and her sister, Linda (John) Libbey.
The family will receive friends 1 - 2 PM Wednesday, July 10, at Stubbs-Conner Funeral Home in Waynesville.
