Ann

Lacey

Ann Lacey (born Ann Kashian) died January 24, 2021 after an extended illness. She is preceded in death by her husband, Fredrick William (Rick) Lacey and survived by their 5 children, Clifford Lacey, Pamela Holmes, Gerrald Lacey, Marsha Cannon, and Marjorie Tyler; their spouses and 11 grandchildren; and brother Paul. She was also preceded in death by her sister, Janet Winsberg.

Born and raised in Wilmette, Illinois, Ann had been living in Lake City, Florida since moving there with her family in 1990. She was a devoted mother to her 5 kids and their home was always a center of activity for all the neighborhood kids. She was fiercely devoted to family, loved her husband with the kind of love that no man could possibly deserve, and was proud of her Armenian heritage.

As a teenager, Ann had a born-again experience that led to a life of devotion to God through his Son, Jesus Christ. She also was a skilled violinist who spent many years teaching the instrument to others. She will be remembered as a loving mother, grandmother, and friend to the needy.

A memorial service open to the public will be held at Gateway Baptist Church in Lake City on Saturday, January 30 at 12:30 with Pastor Jon Kent presiding. This will be followed by a private burial at 2:15. She will be interred next to her husband at Forest Lawn Cemetery with arrangements provided by Mizell Funeral Home in Lake City.
