I had the pleasure of having Mrs Kochendorfer as my first grade teacher. Every kid wanted Mrs K as their first grade teacher. I remember going to her home during Christmas and how special that made each of us feel. One thing she taught me and I still think of today is DYB ( do your. best ) .My condolences to the family you lost a truly wonderful lady. God bless.
Ann was one of the kindest and most thoughtful person I know. She will always have a place in my heart as a friend, a life guide and a faith-filled woman. Ann never missed sending a birthday card and brighten the room with her welcoming smile Today she celebrates the rising sun with the Lord.
I had the priviledge of knowing Ann through the Downtown YMCA water fitness class. She inspired me as she was going into her 90’s. She her used her walker and came. She also came to our once a month lunches.She had a positive attitude. She always attributed her joys to God. Her faith was strong. She always showed a caring heart. We had nice conversations. I missed her when she did not come after Covid. A very dear lady. Sorry to her family for your loss.
Oh, I’m so sorry to hear this! Ann was a beautiful friend I met through the Beginning Experience ministry. She was truly an angel!
I am sadden to hear about the passing of Anne. She was a wise, generous, and caring woman. I knew her through the WDS group in the early 2000s. May it comfort you to know that others will miss her, too. May she rest in peace.
Mrs. K was not only my amazing teacher but a great neighbor! She always realized potential in her students and always looked out for those who needed more. Live DYB, everyday. Rest in his glory in the kingdom.
Ann was my oldest son’s first grade teacher in 1983.The first parents meeting she had paper keys on each desk with “Train up a child verse. She brought us to Calvary and she and John were great friends. She was our son’s favorite teacher and he learned as much as he dug in his heels that Ann could match it. She will be greatly missed. I remember Bible study in their home and have fond memories of her journal in her bathroom to sign. Prayers to her many family and friends
