She was born March 15, 1944 at Redmond, OR, the daughter of Robert and Dickse Keyes Williams. Annie was raised in Twick- enham, OR; during her ear- ly school years she attended Twickenham School, taught by her mother Dickse, the only teacher in the one- room school house. She then transitioned into the neighboring town of Mitch- ell through her high school years, where she graduated in 1962. Ann married Jacy Lee Gibbs in 1964 in Twicken- ham. They later divorced. Ann then married Patrick N. Elgin on May 20, 1979 in Prineville, OR. In 1980, Pat and Ann moved their family to Pat’s family farm, dubbed “Last Chance Ranch,” where the family farmed until health forced the sale. Annie sold real estate for a number of years while living in Prineville and Pendleton. During her years of real estate, she was honored with numerous awards, as well as serving as the president of the Real- tors Land Institute, which allowed her to do extensive traveling throughout the United States. For a few years, Ann ran the Silver Saddle in Pendleton. After running the restaurant, she moved to Heppner to be near her son and his family. Ann loved spending time with her family and watching her kids’, then grandkids’, involvement in sports, 4-H, FFA and any other activity. She was an avid seamstress and en- joyed goling in her later years. Ann was a member of the Pendleton and Hep- pner Elks lodges, Pendle- ton Eagles Lodge, and St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Heppner. Survivors include her daughter, Carrie (Joe-de- ceased) Bennett of Pendle- ton; sons, Jay (Sue) Gibbs of Heppner and Kenny (Chris) Gibbs of Hermiston; sister, Mary M. Fitzgerald; brothers, Robert Williams, Kevin D. Williams and A. Mathew Williams; nine grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren.
