House. Ann is survived by her husband of 71 years, William H. House and her children, Cynthia Crosby (Luke), Timothy House (Tim Adams), Kristy Lorentsen, and Benjamin House (Linda), six grandchildren, six great grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.

Ann was a loving wife, a doting mother, a homemaker and a proud member of Saint Stephens Church, and attended Queen of Peace Church (Millville). She worked alongside her husband in helping to establish their construction businesses, Hamilton Excavators and later Mt. Pleasant Blacktopping Co. Inc. She had many hobbies throughout her life including dance, bowling, card club, camping, boating and fishing. She and her husband also were travel enthusiasts; they traveled around the world on many trips by land, air and sea including cruising through the Panama Canal, visiting Mt. Fuji in Japan and touring the Italian Alps.

Ann had health issues in her later years, but she was blessed to have the care and comfort of her four children and their families. A special mention must be made of her husband that provided much of the care Ann received during her five years of struggles, his devotion allowed Ann to remain with him in their home until recently, when it became necessary to seek hospice care.
