Ann was preceded in death by her loving husband Jack Doty; her parents Virgil and Mill Brinson; her mother Ethleen Blakeney; her brothers Ben and Jim Brinson; and her sister Linda Blakeney. She is survived by her daughter, Deborah Vess (Joseph), and her son, Mark Doty (Lavonne). She was a beloved grandmother to her granddaughters, Keri James (Matt) and Allison Saggus (Clint), and treasured her role as great-grandmother to Grace and Georgia Saggus. Ann loved her family deeply and was endlessly proud of them. She had a special place in her heart for animals and lovingly claimed every family "granddog" as her own. She also had a bright creative spirit and enjoyed painting earlier in her life. Ann was known for her sharp mind and keen sense of responsibility, and she liked to keep a close watch on things, especially when it came to money. Her careful eye for details and her firm commitment to not wasting a dime were well known in the family. In her later years Ann found comfort, companionship, and joy at Rock Creek Manor (Songbird), where the neighbors and staff became like a second family. She will be missed dearly by all who knew her.
