Ann Hayford Bruning died peacefully in her sleep on July 6th at the age of 78. She moved to Captiva Island as a teenager and, after raising her family in Northfield, Illinois, returned permanently in 1981. She died at the home her father built on the property she so loved. Ann was active in all aspects of island life, especially at the Sanibel Captiva Conservation Foundation and Chapel-By-The-Sea, both of whose boards she served on. She volunteered for many other organizations, including the Captiva Library and Captiva Civic Association, and had energy left to shell on the beach and paddle her kayak through and around Buck Key, with which she'd been intimately familiar since childhood. An ardent conservationist, she was particularly proud to have played a role in Buck Key's preservation. Charles, her husband of 55 years, preceded her in death, as did her brother John.
