My condolences to all the family. I was the wife of the late Ross Olsen.
From - Louise Hide
I'm so sorry to hear about Ann's passing. She was truly one of a kind – always quick with a joke, always ready with a fag and a cup of tea. I’ll never forget her sharp wit and the warmth she brought to every moment.
She made people laugh, and she made them feel at ease – that’s a rare gift. I feel lucky
to have known her and will miss her deeply.
I will always be in her debit for the endless nights out, the bed when it was needed and the babysitting for which no money changed hands ' just buy me a packet of fags' LOL.
Sending love and strength to you all during this time.
