August 21, 1956 - April 26, 2022
Ann was the fourth child born to Robert L and Evelyn C Beal on a hot August 21, 1956 day at Sacred Heart hospital. She was a beautiful baby with lots of very dark hair and big brown eyes. A sweet, quiet little girl, she grew up in a loving large extended Spokane family. The woman Ann became was an independent soul, showing a flair for dressing in style, for makeup, and of course always heeled shoes. She bought her own car at 16 years, worked as a waitress, flourishing during those years after graduating from North Central HS. Throughout her life Ann worked many jobs, had a green thumb, loved being outdoors, and had a good eye for stone jewelry-making. But her biggest love was animals, especially her dogs. Ann had a dry good sense of humor and loved a get-together. She succumbed to a debilitating disease on April 26, 2022, an intelligent woman too soon gone. Ann is in a better place now with her father, mother, brother Robert L Beal Jr., and the many family members that have passed before her. She leaves behind her sister Patricia (Erv), brother Richard (Tammy), sister-in-law Renee, aunts Loretta and Beverly, nieces Christine, Kelly, Nicole, Stephanie, and nephew Kyle and their families, step nieces and nephews, and many cousins. A memorial will be announced at a later date. Donations to SpokAnimal in Ann’s name are appreciated.
