Ann Elizabeth Redman, born October 1, 1923, was the daughter of the late William (Bill) Redman and Marguerite Stewart Redman. She was raised in a loving home with 3 sisters.

Ann was also preceded in death by her sisters, Martha Ruth Redman and Carolyn Redman Seymour; brother- in-law, W. A. Seymour.

During World War II, she and her sister Martha, and several others from the area went to Brunswick to work at the shipyard. That adventure opened the door for Ann and Martha to move to Macon, where her sister Mary eventually joined them. "The Girls" as they were known to friends and family lived there over 50 years.

In Macon, Ann and her 2 sisters faithfully attended Mulberry Methodist Church. Her Sunday School class and the United Methodist Women held a special place in her heart. When she and her sister Mary returned to the home place, the Helena United Methodist Church welcomed them with open arms.

Ann and her sisters Martha and Mary made their home on Magnolia Street in Macon. They renovated and entertained family and friends in their lovely home, which is listed in the historical registry. Their home was featured in Macon's Christmas tour of homes.

Ann had an avid love of gardening. Her backyard was a lovely hidden garden filled with varieties of plants and bulbs. Pansies and African violets also held a special place in her heart.

The holidays were a special time and she shared her treats with numerous family and friends. Her specialty was divinity and she loved sharing her secret techniques.

Ann worked for and retired from the Department of Family and Children Services while in Macon.

She is survived by her sister, Mary Ellen Redman of Helena; her niece, Jane Seymour Hill (Denny) of Statesboro and nephew, Jim Seymour (Jackie) of Brunswick; two great nephews, Joshua Hill of Douglasville and Judson Seymour (Audrey Laine) of Brunswick and one very special great -great nephew, Dawson Hill of Douglasville; cousins, Stan Williams (Wanda) and sons, Stewart Williams (Kate) and Alex Williams; Judy Williams and Sam Williams (Dawn) and daughter, Monica Vargas and loyal friends.

The family will greet friends from 5:00 P.M. until 7:00 P.M., Monday, September 19 at the funeral home.
