Ann was born on April 16, 1931 in St. Cloud to a pioneer ranching family. Her family moved to Romeo in 1938, but she did not settle until moving to Bronson in 1940. She graduated from Bronson High School in 1949 and promptly married the love of her life, James A. "Blackie" Stevens, that same year. Ann and Blackie raised their family in Avon Park.
Ann is survived by four children (Gail Stevens, Mary Ann Stevens, Jan (Steve) Hancock, and James A. (Betsy) Stevens, Jr.), eight grandchildren (Kim Tambelini; Allen Greene; Amy (Roy) Bohannan; Trey Carr; Kenneth (Lacy) Hancock; Dana (Brent) Parrish; Elizabeth (Judson) Smith; James A. "Andrew" Stevens, III) and thirteen great grandchildren (Jacob Tambilini; Gabe Tambelini; Cherylynn Bohannan; Allyson Bohannan; Liam Bohannan; Raegan Hancock; Cooper Hancock; Avery Hancock; Jackson Parrish; Grayce Parrish; Ruby Smith; Wells Smith; Charlotte Smith).
Ann was preceded in death by her grandparents John C. and Ella Partin, parents Judge W.F. and Marguerite Anderson, husband James A. Stevens, and sister Mary Holmes.
No matter where she went, Ann was always smiling and helping others.
A funeral service will be held at the Bronson United Methodist Church on Thursday, October 14, 2021 at 10:30 am with a visitation one hour prior. Burial will follow at the Rosemary Hill Cemetery in Bronson, Florida. Knauff Funeral Home of Williston is honored to serve the Stevens family during their time of transition.
To honor her caring spirit, the family ask that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the United Methodist Church of Bronson.
