Ann was a quiet, polite and humble person. Her children and Bob meant the world to her. I was down to see Ann at univ of Penn hospital in her last few days. It was a memorable visit. She woke up for about an hour. I got to see Ann's sense of humor. We shared stories about her ventures to Temple College in her Chevy Nova. She always hoped her car would be there when she was done classes. She was joking about what hospital was she at now. I was sharing with her about Breanne and Robs games I was at the week before. She wanted to know about how they did and the games. I could tell in her voice and eyes that she missed being at your activities. Her cancer robbed her from watching her children in their activities this year. It meant a lot hearing about her children's activities from family and friends. Rob and Breanne your mom will be watching over you on the field and your lives. I got to see first hand what my brother Bob was saying. That between him and Ann they made a full cup of tea. I will always cherish that visit.

Although I don't have a specific memory of Ann, I will always remember the kind of person she was. We worked together for a number of years in Pharmacy, and it was truly like working with a good friend. Ann was always concerned about being thorough and about getting things right. Since we were documenting clinical information, that was of particular importance. Ann was always ready to listen, and it went both ways. I worked remotely, so we did not see each other often (when we did, it was a special treat!) - ours was a phone and email relationship, but nonetheless a close one. She was always on the other end for me. A good listener. A good person, of good repute, who respected others. You should be proud of the kind of person Ann was. She meant a great deal to me, and I already miss her very, very much. Not only as a respected coworker, but also as a dear friend.

I had the honor of working with Ann in the Pharmacy group. I could not have asked for a better co-worker or friend. She successfully completed every project given to her with her dedication, intelligence, and patience. But she always had time for others when needed. My fondest memories of Ann are of our lunch-time walks together, huffing and puffing. I heard her family stories in which I could always hear the pride and love in her voice. I, in return, made her listen to countless stories of my cats AND she always appeared interested and amused - long after other friends' eyes would have glazed over with boredowm. I miss her dreadfully. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

Bob, Breanne and Robert – You are in my thoughts and prayers. I had the privilege of working with Ann for several years. She was a great co-worker. Ann would energetically take on any task. She was always willing to help a teammate with any problems they were having.
Ann was a good friend. I will always remember her smile and her infectious laugh. I spoke with her last year for the first time in a while. We did what parents always do – compared stories about our kids. It was very clear how proud Ann was of hers.
Ann will be missed but not forgotten.

Bob, Breanne and Robert - My deepest condolences. I am so sad to hear of Ann's passing. I will always cherish the time we worked closely together in EAD (Enterprise Access Directory) back in the SMS days. Ann was a great friend and co-worker. She was passionate about doing the right thing - no issue to big to break down and solve. We had a great team with a special bond. Even after years of not working directly together, we would always spend time chatting about the kids and how things were going. My prayers to you that your memories will carry you through this difficult time. Ann will be dearly missed.

I am so sorry to hear about Ann's passing. I so enjoyed working with her many years ago. What a nice person. We shared the same birthday so I tried to check in each year to wish 'us' a happy birthday. Sending prayers for peace to your family.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Grove family. Ann hired me and I could not have asked for a better manager to start my career. Years after changing positions I still enjoyed having lunch with her and hearing about her family activities. She will be missed by all who knew her.

I'm so sorry to hear about Ann's passing. Even though its been several years since I worked with Ann, one of the things I remember most about her was her sharp wit and exceptional sense of humor. No matter how crazy and stressful the workday got, Ann was always able to make us laugh. I know that she will be missed dearly by all of us who have worked with her.

We are truly sorry to hear about your loss. Ann was such a warm and loving person who will be greatly missed and will always be remembered. I worked with Ann in the General Financials group for Shared Medical and in the Clinicals area for Siemens. Ann was such a capable and understanding person - always very helpful with addressing questions or issues. She always had a smile when she greeted me and always asked about my family. When I talked with her, she really cared and listened and always had a great sense of humor.
May your memories of Ann help comfort you during this time.
Our condolences to the family.

I worked with Ann when our group name was GFS (General Financials). It was before she had met Bob, her future husband. She was quick at what she did; a very smart woman. Ann had a good sense of humor and had us laughing. I also played volleyball with her on the GFS team. She was good at that too. She eventually left the group for a new job to expand her horizons, and married Bob. Ann was always positive, with a lot of energy. I am a better person for having known her. She will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Terry Hopkins (nee Thomas)

I will miss Ann so much, she inspired me to be a better parent, analyst and friend. Ann always had the right thing to say. She was helpful and I enjoyed our conversations about kids, life and everything else. Ann was the first person at Siemens to greet me and make me feel welcome. I enjoyed every project we worked on together and she taught me so much. I will never forget her.

I wrote this poem for Bobby and Ann. She will be deeply missed
A Beautiful Daughter, Sister, Wife, Mother and Friend
When you came into this life your mother and father said take my hand
In marriage I said take my hand
Our children came into our lives and said mommy take my hand
The storms of life were raging
We did everything we can
There’s trouble in our land
We could hear the dear lord whisper
Precious child take my hand
We were all there
The time was near
We told stories of long ago
We laughed, we cried and the tears flowed like rain
But was not just for pain
There was no more we could do, but look toward the heavens and say
Lord, its time to take her hand
We will not stand at your grave and weep
You do not sleep
You are not there
You did not die
For everything beautiful that we will now see
Will bring a memory of you and me
You will be in the gentle rain that falls
The winds that blows
The shining stars at night
The sun shining warm on our face
A cold winter’s warm embrace
You will not be out of our minds since you are out of sight
Hours will fly by our lives
Flowers will die
New days, new ways, will pass us by
But a true love never dies
Your life of beauty is a joy forever
What matters in life is not what one does but how one does it
With purpose and loving kindness was your way
I love you for who you are and what I was when I was with you
I love you for the wonderful care you gave our children that made them grow
I love you forever
And until we meet again
May God hold you
In the palm of his hand
Until I can take your hand again
A daughter’s, sister’s, wife’s, mother’s, friend’s life never dies
Love Always
A Beautiful Daughter, Sister, Wife, Mother and Friend

I met Ann on the very first project I worked on at Siemens. It was the start of long years of working together. She was a strong, competent woman who always spoke her mind, honestly and fairly. I worked with Ann for many years in project management on many challenges. Always with a joke and a smile, no problem couldn't be broken down and solved. Even after Ann left the group, I would continue to talk to her about family, which was the most important thing to her. Breanne and Rob were her hobby, her passion and her joy. I will miss you very much Ann.

I alway remember Ann as the first manager other than my manager that scheduled a meeting with me to help me understand her team and where they fit into the work I was doing. I remember when she was pregnant with Breanne and how healthy she ate. She was a role model to me - always smiling, organized, willing to help and thoughtful. She managed her group well and was liked and respected by everyone. She could make tough decisions and was always fair. I often joked with Bob that I liked him and would do anything Bob needed me to do for work because I knew Ann first. I still would have done anything but it sure helped that I knew Ann first. Even though I hadn't worked with Ann in quite some time, I always looked forward to meeting her in the halls and chatting in the elevator. I will dearly miss her.
