Funeral Director
In loving memory of Ann Stephens who sadly passed away peacefully at home, on 6th March 2023, surrounded by the family that she loved, after a short illness.
Although a very private lady, Ann was a very familiar face on the Island. She worked at Woolworths for many years, at Dens fish and chip shop, Jones corner, and behind the bar at the British legion. She was also a very successful Avon lady, winning many awards, which is quite surprising given she never wore any make up herself!
She leaves behind her husband David, her two daughters, Toni and Kerry, and her three grandchildren, Jamie, Jake and Robbie
In 2022, Ann and David celebrated 60 years of marriage, their diamond wedding anniversary. She was delighted to receive a card from the Queen to mark this amazing milestone, which stands pride of place at home.
Ann was a very active person, right up until the end, and loved nothing better than a trip to Southend, to walk along the front, have a nice lunch, and a cheeky Rossi ice cream.
Rest in peace Ann, mum, nan - we like to think you are tucking into a 99 wherever you are xx
