Ann Mathis

Ann Mathis, Holland, was born on December 15, 1961, in Kalamazoo and passed away on June 22, 2025, in Grand Rapids, surrounded by her beloved children. Ann was a beacon of joy and warmth in the lives of those who knew her. She was characterized by her fun personality, a great sense of humor, kindness, and an unwaveringly welcoming spirit.

Family was at the heart of Ann's life. She cherished every moment spent with her grandchildren, Jack and Winona, who were a true source of joy for her. Ann found pleasure in the simple things, often relishing the cozy moments at home and delighting those around her with a big pot of chicken and dumplings. Each day was an opportunity for her to engage in the world with love and laughter, and her legacy will be one of kindness and affection.

She would be upset if we didn't include Henry, her dog, with whom she spent many hours walking, cuddling, and scolding. In him, she met her match. 

She is survived by her son, Travis and daughter Hannah, along with their partners Briana and Angus; and her cherished grandchildren, Jack and Winona. Ann will be deeply missed by her family and friends, who were fortunate to have known such a loving and spirited woman.

Ann was preceded in death by her parents, Kathryn and Robert, who fostered the very qualities that made her who she was. Though she has departed from this world, her memory will resonate through the memories she created with those she held dear. As we remember Ann, we celebrate a life well-lived, filled with love, laughter, and the warmth of family.
