Ann was the most remarkable manager at The Chatterbox Club. She ran the club so smoothly that each of the several hundred members felt that she was a friend. When she retired, she was honored as a lifetime member of the club, and it was lovely to continue to see her and chat.
Ann was such a lovely, gracious, and talented manager of the Chatterbox Club. Always on top of things and welcoming all with her infectious smile. When she retired the club named an area after her….the Ann Dasch Lounge. I enjoyed seeing her at the Club even after retirement. She will be missed.
Ann and I met in 1st grade and went through both elementary and high school together. Throughout the years we had separate lives but in the last 15-20 years we were united and it has been so good. I will miss talking to her and having her as a friend . I offer my sincere condolences to all her family and friends
Laurie, I am so saddened to hear about your mom’s passing. I remember her as a beautiful, loving soul, whose kindness and support were unmatched. I also admired her quiet strength. She passed down all of these qualities to you! I am praying that you are comforted by all of your happy memories, and that peace finds a way into your heart, knowing that you had one of the best to guide and raise you. All my love friend ❤️
I had the honor and privilege to be Ann’s hygienist for over 30 years, She was a remarkable women, kind, caring, witty ,intelligent and just the kind of person that you were blessed if she was your friend. I know that these last few years had been hard on her because she was always such an independent women, but I hope and pray that her passing was painless and peaceful. I will always remember Ann as a very special lady. Dale Ingram
Ann and I have known each other for 75 years. Our time together at SS. Peter and Paul School and Nazareth Academy forged such a strong bond of love and friendship. I was honored to have Ann as a member of my wedding party. I cannot stop looking at the pictures. She was so beautiful. But her beauty was not just skin deep, she was beautiful in everything she did. She loved her family, her children, Michael, and her friends. Ann…we will miss you so much. May you rest in peace, dear friend.
I was a real fan of Ann’s. In fact, she had a fan club of hundreds at the Chatterbox Club. She was an incredible professional, beloved by both staff & members. Ann ran a tight ship but she was always a lady. She will be missed.
I am heartbroken at the loss of my dear friend Ann. I look back on all the years that we had known each other…from the 1st grade at SS peter & Paul and then on to Nazareth Academy. I was her Maid of Honor and she my Matron of Honor. We shared good times with friends at our “Red Hat” get togethers and our book club “The Girls” for many years. Cherished memories last a lifetime,
To Laurie, David and Mike and all of her family, she loved and was so proud of each and everyone of you. Every time we talked we shared the latest news and pictures of our families. She will be missed but never forgotten.
With love and sympathy,
Phyllis Rizzo
