She was born Edna Ann Davis on September 21, 1924 to A.F. and Ethel Housely Davis.
She postponed her plans for college to work in the war effort during World War II. Ann came to California on a train and when she stopped in Riverside she smelled the beautiful orange blossoms and countryside and knew she was home in California. Arriving in Huntington Beach in 1943, at the home of her aunt, Nettie Peebles, she began attending First Christian Church with her cousins Nadine and Johnny.
She had a wonderful life playing golf, bridge, dancing, working at her church and helping people. She leaves behind her loving daughter, Cheryll; many adopted sons and daughters; and her adored son-in-law, Pete Christey. We will all miss her greatly.
Funeral Service, Friday, June 2, 2017 at 2:00 pm, Pacific View Memorial Chapel, Corona del Mar, CA. Graveside Service to follow: Pacific View Memorial Park Corona del Mar, CA Garden of Valor 179E.
