Ann Laibson was a beloved sister, aunt, and friend. She was a longtime member of Grace Bible Church. Her Christian character was evident in her life-style and love for her church.
In her teens, she moved to Caro, Texas with her family and attended Central Heights School. Having a flair for style and beauty, she was owner of Suzanne’s Campus Togs across from Stephen F. Austin State University. Her love of beauty was carried over into her beautiful garden.

Not having children of her own, her nieces and nephews were recipients of her love and generous spirit.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Joseph Laibson; her brothers, Roy, Charles, and W.A. (Lanky) Williams; sisters, Lennie Honea and Opal Lightfoot.
