Miss Ann will always hold a special place in my heart! My first real job was at Harrington Manufacturing. I was a young, inexperienced girl and very impressionable. I worked as a secretary and Miss Ann would come to the Parts department to help out from time to time and I would see her in the “main building” on occasions. I was so scared and intimidated by her. After all, she was a very important person and was known as a task master. After being around her a few times, I learned that she was kind, funny, and very blunt. I remember several off color remarks that had my face red as a beet! She really took an interest in me and offered good advice, a friendly pat on the shoulder, and shared her knowledge of all things office related. She protected me from people that I had no idea I needed protecting from. I will never forget her for that reason. That was almost 40 years ago. She had a huge impact on my life from that time on. My prayers are with you all. She loved and talked about you all the time. Hugs and love to all of you! She was surely a special lady in my life.

What a wonderful lady. I worked for her and shared an office with her during my high school years. Ms. Ann taught me so many things that I have carried with me my lifetime. Always loving and kind and always a classy lady. There are not enough words to express how much I thought of her. Truly a mentor in my life! My condolences to the family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Ms.Ann and her family were great neighbors while I growing up.. I will always remember the great cookouts at her house.. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Cullifer family at this time. John 5:24 ” I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life.
