Oakland, NE Wednesday, November 25, 2020 So sorry to hear about Ann! She was the last ( and some might say orneriest ) of the 4th of July bunch!! Unfortunately the only times we had gotten to visit in the last years was at funerals of other Scribner "legends". Ann was definitely a "legend" and will be missed by the community. Thoughts and prayers with the whole family.Moeller's (Becky, Connie, and families)
