On the evening of September 4, 2014, Ann passed away of natural causes.
Ann was being comforted by family members at the Rosebud County Nursing home in Forsyth at the time of her passing.
She was 88 years old.
Ann was born in Crow Agency, Montana, on July 1, 1926, to Grace Hart and Clarence Neal, the youngest of four children.

In February of 1965, Ann married Willie Vassau and assisted with the raising of Willie's four children: Susan, Billie Kay, Frank, and David.

Ann and Willie divorced in 1991.
Ann continued to provide in home health care, worked at the Rosebud County Museum and was active at the Senior Citizen Center, the VFW, and with the local AA group. She was proud of her 30 years of sobriety and was a willing sponsor to many new members. Her favorite pastime was going down to the dam to check on the river and enjoy the view.

; her brother Bud Neal of Ranchester, WY, and her sisterMarceline C. Neal Clifford of Forsyth, MT.

Ann's infectious good nature and quick wit will be missed by many.
