With her family by her side and the reassuring sounds of Christmas music, Ann Dee Bent, who was loved by her community and loved ones, passed away at the age of 34. At 7:30 PM on April 21, 2024, Ann peacefully passed away after a protracted and brave fight with disease. It was her first breath in Heaven.
Pastor Shannon Bopp will preside over Ann’s funeral, which will place on Saturday, April 27, 2024, at the Evergreen Christian Church in Salem, Illinois.
Later this week, the service’s precise times will be disclosed. Everyone who knew her is cordially invited to join in honoring her life and the significant influence she had on everyone in her vicinity.
Ann’s perseverance and faith served as a ray of hope and inspiration for the duration of her trip. Her strong faith was demonstrated by the fact that her desire for healing was closely entwined with her desire for God to be exalted in the midst of her hurt, suffering, and agony.
The innumerable words of encouragement and prayers that Ann’s friends and family sent her throughout her battle represent the love and tenacity that she leaves behind. Those who supported her the entire time will mourn her terribly, especially her family.
A farewell selfie that the family posted in honor of Ann shows off her resilient spirit and smile and documents one of the last times Ann was able to enjoy herself outside of her hospital bed.
Her husband imagines the wonderful aroma of cinnamon rolls Ann is probably preparing right now—a wonderful treat she loved to share with everyone around her as a fitting memorial to a life so well lived.
