Ann D. Spangler, age 79 of Mechanicsburg, lost her long courageous battle to Lewy Body Dementia on Sunday, January 8th, 2017, while at home with her husband and family. She was blessed to have a devoted and loving husband to care for her until the end.

Ann stayed busy playing sports throughout high school and was crowned prom queen at Council Rock High. She attended Camp Hagan in the Pocono Mountains from the time she was 8 and then enjoyed becoming a camp counselor when she got older.

Ann met the love of her life, Don Spangler, in 1971 and they were married in 1972. Her passions included shopping, dining out, crafts, spending time with her grandchildren and being with her cherished dog, Squirt. She also enjoyed vacationing, especially the trips that included the grandchildren.

Ann was a member of the Silver Spring Presbyterian Church, where she once served as a deacon.
