Ann Elizabeth Moyer, 72, of Hutchinson, died Sunday, February 10, 2019, at Hospice House, Hutchinson.
Ann was born on November 5, 1946, in Emporia, Kansas, the oldest child of Bill and Maxine Alexander. Her dad just returned from Europe after World War II. Housing was scarce, so they lived in a renovated boxcar for about a year! The family moved to Osawatamie in 1948 when her dad opened a Ben Franklin Store. Ann attended school in Osawatamie through 7th grade. In 1959, the family moved to Hutchinson and Ann attended Plaza Junior High School and Liberty Junior High School before graduating from Hutchinson High School in 1964. Ann worked for her dad at the Ben Franklin Stores and attended Hutchinson Community College, graduating in 1967.

Ann married John Moyer on March 21, 1971. John was in the U.S. Army and they traveled extensively while he was stationed in Germany. During this time, Ann developed an appreciation for the culture and a love of antique furniture and clocks. She spent her time collecting beautiful pieces that were shipped back to the U.S. and displayed in her home. Ann also loved and collected fine china and teacups. Ann worked for Waggoner's, Inc., in Yoder, Kansas, for 15 years. Waggoner's made and installed pew cushions in 48 states. Ann was proud to have been part of a team that made cushions for a church located in the shadow of the Twin Towers shortly after 9/11.

Ann is survived by: her children, Alexandra Mathis, William, and Amanda Johnson; two granddaughters, Taryn and Baylee; and two grandsons, Sheldon and Matthew Mathis. She is also survived by: three brothers and a sister, Phil (Jeanine) of Wichita, Craig (Jill) of Wichita, John (Kay) of Ely, Iowa, and Chris Irwin (Anthony) of Topeka; and numerous nieces and nephews.
