She grew up in the Mississippi Delta and started working at a young age. She moved to Texas in 1953 with her young family and began working at Houston Lighting and Power (HL&P). She retired from HL&P after 34 years. Ann enjoyed traveling and went on many trips with her family and her second husband Clyde Bigler where she enjoyed the sights across our country either RVing, cruising, or memorable road trips. Ann was a strong, fierce and loyal person that showed grace and adoration to those she loved. She especially loved her family and was always bragging about her grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren. She also displayed a deep Christian faith and trust in Jesus as her Savior. She was faithful to attending church through the years and sing-alongs and Bible Study into her last days. Ann was known by many names over her lifetime, Ann, Mamaw Ann, Grandma Ann, Aunt Ann, Ms. Ann among many other endearing names. One of those including the Queen as she had a resemblance to Queen Elizabeth and was known for having her hair and nails done and always dressed for the occasion. Ann was preceded in death by her parents Elbin and Myra Blackwood, sisters, Marie Simpson, Louise Blaine, Dorothy McWhorter, Daisy Lollar, Mary Carmen Crawford, and brothers Frank Blackwood, Marion Blackwood and Fred Blackwood.
