In retirement she enjoyed tooling leather, repairing saddle blankets and trips to Bit & Spur shows with her husband, James Gerber. Anyone who came to her home was invited to eat with them and there was always a pot of coffee and a plate of cookies ready. She also fed all the stray cats in the neighborhood. She was a hard-working woman who always put her husband and family first. Ann was preceded in death by her husband, James Gerber; her sons, Edward and Raymond his wife Roxanne; her brothers, William, Albert, Fred and Ernest. She is survived by son, James W. Gerber and fiancée Reba; brother, Otto Cook and wife Katherine; grandchildren, Cydney, Brian, Aaron, Heidi and Pat Gerber; many great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
