On Tuesday Oct. 22nd, 2019 the loving Ann Lorraine Bolton Price, 84, died peacefully in her home surrounded by loved ones. Ann was a beautiful wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and wonderful friend to many people.

They married Jan 9th, 1957 and raised two children, later enjoying four grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.
She was the happiest when surrounded by family and friends. She never missed one of her children’s or grandchildren’s school or sporting events, even those they coached, officiated, or got benched. Ann was a huge fan of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, and cheered passionately for every child in the thousands of games she attended. She was affectionately known as ‘Nana’ to those around her, and was well-known for her kindness.
