R.I.p.ann we will miss you

Dick, Kim, Jeff , Rick and families - The journey through grief is one of the most demanding paths a person ever travels, especially when grieving such a beautiful soul as Ann. She has always been a role model to so many in our community. I have admired her since I was a young girl and the respect I have for her as a spouse, mother, grandmother, sister and friend can't be measured. There is no doubt in my mind that she continues to shine her light beyond our earthly imagination. Ann was a fighter, a giver, Ann was love and she will not be forgotten.

Ann was a model for being a generous and loving person and a concerned citizen. She certainly made this world a better place.

Our condolences go out to the Phelps family.

My sympathy goes to Dick and family. So very sorry. Anne Betts Travi

Dick, So sorry for your loss. She was such a kind and caring lady.

I was very sorry to learn that Ann (always "Mrs. Phelps" to me) passed away. As I told Jeff in a note to him, I have very fond memories of her from our childhood days when Jeff and I played hockey together. The Phelps family is a great family that has always made Rockland proud. To Dick ("Mr. Phelps"), Jeff, Kim and Rick, I send you all my thoughts and prayers and hope that your great memories of Ann will help you through this difficult time. Peace to all of you.

No words can express the loss to all who knew Ann. As a friend and classmate, she was the Energizer Bunny for the RHS Class of '59. My sincere condolences to you, her family. She will live on in your hearts forever. Wishing you peace,

Dear Jeff - We are so sorry to hear about your mother's passing. Please know that all of your friends at the Rockland Chamber of Commerce and South Shore Chamber of Commerce are thinking of you and your family during these truly sad times.

So sorry to read of Anns passing. The class of '59 has lost a great friend.she was so giving. Our reunions at your Plymouth home are great memories we will keep close to our hearts! Sincerely, Laura Richardson Paine.

Our thoughts and hearts are with the entire Phelps family. Ann was a great neighbor and friend for over 20 years.She was cheerful and compassionate
For everyone she came into contact. She will be missed by a town who totally loved her.You will be missed Ann. Xoxo

Rest easy Mrs. Phelps. To all the family and friends, my sincerest condolences. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Without a question you were the BEST Ann. Anyone who knew you loved you how could they not. You always brought a smile to my face and loved the stories you shared about your Grandchildren how much you loved them. I doubt anyone could fill your shoes and know you will never be forgotten.

When we became Ann & Dick's neighbors at the cove on Herring Pond, we noticed that their yard and dock were full of happy grandchildren. One day, Ann came over to "apologize" for her exuberant grandchildren. We laughed and said it was music to our ears, and warned her that our grandchildren were just as happy. One day, two of her little granddaughters, seeing us out in our paddle boat, paddled over to us and asked if we'd like some paninis and grapes and if we were thirsty, because they also had drinks. Their kindness to near strangers is something that comes from family. Spending so much time with their Mimi, their kindness was no surprise. Ann will be missed. Our cove will never be the same without her.

My years working in Rockland were sweetened by so many of the very special people who live there. Ann Phelps is at the top of my list. She was always there to counsel me through difficult times and take my blood pressure readings as well. To Dick and 'The Kids' : You are fortunate to have such a wonderful wife and mother. God's blessings to you all.

Richard Kids & Grand Kids you were her Life

Our thoughts and prayers are with Dick and the family. A great lady will be missed by all. Love, Ken & Barbara Pike.

As a recipient of Holiday Magic my grandchildren were able to have a wonderful Christmas. This would not have been possible without Ann's passion for coming to the aid of the needy. I just wanted to say how much I appreciated her and how grateful I am to have come to known her. She was a blessing to many people. My sincerest sympathies to her loved ones and friends. God be with you.

My sincere condolences to you and your family for your loss. May prayers strengthen you and comfort you and your family..

My thoughts and prayers go out to Dick, Kim, Jeff, and Rick. I never met a kinder, more generous person than Ann Phelps and can't thank her enough for welcoming me into her home and family when I moved to Rockland in the eighth grade. She always had a kind words and a smile for anyone who needed it.

Dick and the entire Phelps family, my deepest sympathies on the loss of your beloved Ann. Marilyn Werkheiser

Dick, Jeff & Kim,

I'm so sorry to hear about Ann's passing. My thoughts & prayers go out to you and your families.

Rest in Peace Mrs. Phelps. My deepest sympathy to the whole Phelps family.

Ann must have touched thousands of people with her warmth, love, laughter, and generosity! I think if each of us told a favorite story about her, we'd fill an encyclopedia. I am so pleased that I could call her neighbor and friend. She'll be sorely missed! Our love and prayers to all of you from the Lelyveld and Wittenberg families.

I am so sad to hear about Ann. She was that ray of sunshine on a cloudy day. I never knew anyone as happy and joyful as her. She was an inspiration...a woman who epitomized the role of public servant. Her enthusiasm was contagious. She was God's gift to us all. Rockland was so blessed to have her as its ambassador. She will definitely be missed. To Richard, Kim, Jeff and Rick...you have my deepest sympathies and you are in my thoughts and prayers. I am not alone in saying, "Ann was the best".

My deepest sympathy at the loss of such a wonderful women. I went to school with Rick and at the time Ann was our school nurse and I can remember her always having such a bright wonderful smile and a infectious laugh. I have a special place for nurses in my heart due to my mother who passed recently was a nurse in fact they attended the same nursing school New England Baptist School of Nursing. Rest in Peace Mrs. Phelps.

To Dick and Family, We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Ann was a wonderful mentor to me during our Visiting Nurse Years. Our Prayers are with You, Marion and Ralph Rose

God .be with you always'

My deepest sympathy on your loss of Ann. She was an inspiration to all of the lives that she touched. She worked tirelessly for her family, town, and friends. God must have needed another angel in Heaven to help him organize and direct meaningful projects. May your many wonderful memories help sustain you during this difficult time.

I had the great pleasure of working with Ann during Christmas time on the Rockland Holiday Magic Charity for the past few years. She was a tireless and loving person. My sincerest sympathies to Ann's family and loved ones. She will be truly missed.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Dear Dick and Family, My heart goes out to all of you at this difficult time. May your wonderful memories of Ann's love of children and community give you strength. We will truly never forget all she gave us.

Ann was he most beautiful person in the world always comforting others-caring about others-she ALWAYS had time for anyone with a issue-in my case she was my ROCK-always supporting and encouraging me and caring about my health and welfare-Ann was a Mother to ALL of us-I love you Ann and my prayers and thoughts for the Phelps and Nelson families.

My sincere deepest sympathy... Ann was always there to listen to you whenever you needed a sounding board. I so loved my time with her. I'll will remember her in my thoughts and my prayers. Love, Joseph R Dion

Dear Kim and Family, Your mother was an amazing woman, and I feel blessed to have met her and spent time with her. She was caring and loving, and clearly lived life with an amazing and rare authenticity. You are in my prayers, and I am so sorry for your loss. I know how much she will be missed. Erin O'Connor Jones

My condolences to the entire Phelps family. She was so kind, generous and such a sincerely good person. It came from her core. I'll always remember her spirit and sense of humor. We had some good laughs during CPR training, because I was hopeless. She will be missed by all who knew her.

God Speed Ann,
I grew up in Rockland, went to Rockland Public Schools... I'm Sure that if I did'nt see Nurse Ann, I'm sure My Siblings, or My Oldest Son did... Heartfelt Condolences to the Family... May she Fly High with the Angels.

To Dick and Family, Please accept our condolences on this very sad loss. Describing Ann as a warm, intelligent and gracious person does not nearly do her justice. Her impact on those of us who were lucky enough to know her, as well as on the community at large, was enormous. Her support of and advocacy for the children of Rockland will forever be remembered. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Maureen and Chuck Schnider and Family

Mrs. phelps was my school nurse all of my high school. She had the biggest heart. I was at her office every day. She always helped me rather it was her words of wisdom or just her listening to me and being there to talk. She was a amazing women in so many ways and I will miss her dearly.

My sincere condolences to the Phelps's family. We had the joy of seeing your parents in Bermuda years ago when the Mellor girls were on vacation with my Mom--it was such a great treat to see them enjoying themselves on vacation. Pam (Mellor) Guyer & the Mellor family.

It would be impossible to count the children and adults that Ann Phelps has touched during her lifetime. Those of us who were close to her considered her a miracle worker. She devoted an incredible amount of time and energy to ensure that no child or family was forgotten especially at Christmas time. Her devotion to her family was beautiful to witness.If you had an hour or two she would gladly bring you up to date. Ann was very proud of Rockland and loved working with the students in the Rockland Public Schools. She leaves a legacy that will be impossible to emulate, but will be a model for all of us to strive for.
