Ann was a member of the Seventh-day Adventist church. Ann loved to support her husband during his teaching years in Adventist Education and spent many hours assisting him in the classroom. She loved to spend time nurturing and teaching children to love Jesus. Ann deeply loved her family and was always looking for ways to make memories for her grandchildren to cherish. One of her greatest joys was listening to her children, grandchildren, and church children praise Jesus through music. Ann enjoyed finding ways to show Jesus love to others such as crocheting blankets for children and the elderly, sewing for her children and grandchildren, canning and freezing food for family and friends, listening and giving advice, assisting in church programs, and attending church events like camp meetings, family camps, and It Is Written Partnership weekends.

Visitation with the family will be Sunday, January 30, 2022, from 10:00 am until 11:00 am with a celebration of life at 11:00 am at the Lewis Seventh-day Adventist Church, 9950 IN-246, Lewis, IN 47858.

Note the donation as "In Memory of Ann Sowers." Thank you for helping others learn about Jesus as Ann spent her life doing. Ann will rest awaiting the resurrection at Fairview Cemetery in Bowling Green, Indiana.
