Ann Cannon

Ann Cannon, 66, died March 25, 2024, after a 10-year battle with brain cancer.

She was born July 30, 1957, to the late Theodore Brooks and her mother Dorothy Brooks in Norwalk, Ohio. Ann lived her entire life on the family farm. Ann was a warm, generous, happy-go-lucky girl who loved to laugh. She spoke a language that the deaf ear can hear, and the blind can see: Kindness.

Surviving Ann is her husband, Cliff, who she married on March 3, 2006. She is survived by her two children, her son Sean (Liz) Walker and her daughter Ellen (Gustavo) Chavez and her grandchildren Annie, Arlo, and Enzo. Cliff’s children Stacia Cannon, Thomas (Caitlyn) Cannon, Emily (John) Kilbane, Kristin (Nicholas) Sabbato, and Jacob (Courtney) Cannon. Her grandchildren Skyeler, Cayden, Kenni, Stella, Payton, Ciaran, and Oaklyn, better known as Ann’s beloved “Lakelynn,” and one great-grandchild Lucy. Her mother, Mrs. Dorothy Brooks, and her brothers and sisters, Christine (Tom) Ryan, Dean (Terry) Brooks, Daniel (Laura) Brooks, Caroline (Jerry) Hedges, and Sharon (Pat) Brown along with numerous nieces and nephews.

I know its been a tough, long road but she has maneuvered the journey with grace and love. I think she was a very strong warrior and now surrounded with peace, love and comfort. Her tears are being wiped away by the good Lord and she is released from suffering. Our journey without her will be a struggle at times but she paved an example for us to gracefully endure. Cliff and family, I am sorry for your loss and hope that her love will echo in your hearts continually. God strengthen your hearts and bring the peace you need. God bless you all
