Her love for Football could be heard every Friday night on the radio. You could hear her cheering while they were announcing the game. Ann and Gordon were a Tennessee Vol fans and had many wonderful memories attending UT Football games. Ann loved every sport and she was unique that she could watch sports 24/7 and could give you all the details. She continued her legacy watching her grandchildren and great-grandchildren play sports. She never gave up going even if she was rolled in, always with excitement and a smile for being there. Visitation will be at Reeds Chapel, Wednesday, April 13th, from 4 pm until 8 pm.
