Ann Forsythe went home to be with her Lord and Savior on Monday, September 23, 2024. She was preceded in death by her husband, Donald Forsythe, and brother William “Bill” Alexander.

Ann Kendall Alexander Forsythe was born on January 11, 1940 to the late William “Bill” and Irene Alexander. She was a graduate of Lawrence County High School in Lawrenceburg, Tenn. She also graduated from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, Tenn. She was a school teacher for several years and then was a project manager for a few years. What she really loved was when she got hired as a park ranger in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. She was a very friendly woman who loved to meet and talk with people.

Mother loved being outdoors and hiking numerous trails in the mountains. She loved these Bible verses: “I lift my eyes to the hills, from where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.” Psalms 121:1-2.a
