Eve Della Ann Dean (Ann Dean) entered into eternal fellowship with Jesus on July 15, 2024 after a short battle with cancer. Born September 14, 1949, she was a native Californian and had lived in parts of Southern California and the Central Valley throughout her life. She is survived by her children: Daughter-Sarah, son-Jesse and daughter-Michelle. And her grandchildren: Grandson-Carter, grandson-Jack, and granddaughter-Zoey. Her family was the pride and joy of her life.

Ann had a large family of friends in her church community and was dedicated to serving those around her. She was an early childhood (Pre-K) educator for over 30 years. She was a prolific volunteer in children’s ministries, community services, and prison outreach. Ann was a talented dressmaker and seamstress, and is well known for blessing many families with her gorgeous quilts. She was most famous for spontaneously bursting into song or traditional hymns bringing joy to those around her. She was dearly beloved by all who knew her well.

Her greatest passion was her love for Jesus Christ, and so we know she is resting contentedly in the arms of her Savior. Her bright light will be missed in the community.
