Ann M. Jarvis

Ann Jarvis, 74, of Daytona Beach passed away surrounded by her family on Friday June 1st after a long battle with cancer. Ann was born in August of 1943 in Janesville, Wisconsin and lived in Stoughton, Wisconsin.

It was here that she met the love of her life Bob (Robin) and they married while he was enrolled at UW Whitewater.  Soon after marriage they had their first child, Pat and seven years later they were blessed with a girl, Amy.  Due to Bob (Robin’s) job, there were several moves along the way, but Chicago is home to Ann - just ask anyone who has spent 5 minutes with her!

Ann was a wonderful mother and wife who always put her family first.  She loved to drink a glass or three of Cabernet, enjoyed her days of playing cards with friends, evenings of Bunco, Hallmark movies and playing Mah Jong for hours upon end.  She was a loyal friend and truth be told sometimes was honest to a fault.  She took hours to pick out just the right card, loved all things patriotic and green, could not turn the channel if American Ninja Warrior was on and went to the gym on a daily basis, mostly to see her friends – the workout was just secondary.  She was married to her high school sweetheart and they grew to love each other more and more each day.

Ann is survived by her husband Bob of 53 years; her son, Pat and his wife Gail; her daughter, Amy and her husband Ken.  She had four grandchildren, Madison, Blake, Brice and Lily who were the light of her life. Ann also has two sisters, Sue and Kay, and one brother, Mike. Her parents Vern and Gladys Owen preceded her in death.

The visitation will be held on Friday, June 8 from 4-8pm at Davenport Funeral Home at 419 E Terra Cotta Ave. (Rte. 176) Crystal Lake.  Visitation will continue on Saturday, June 9, at 9:30am at St. Elizabeth Ann Seaton Catholic Church, 1023 McHenry Ave., Crystal Lake with the Mass of Christian Burial celebrated at 10:30am.  A luncheon will be held afterwards.
