We only met once on the occasion of Ann's 80th birthday in 2018 in Sheffield. Through DNA testing of her daughter Joanne Meager and myself it appeared we were related. It turns out that Ann & myself have a common great great grandfather Benjamin Levers (1806-1873), with her great great grandmother Charity Moss (died in childbirth), whereas mine was Grace Hill. Until 2018 I had not the slightest idea that this other branch of the Levers' family even existed, so it was a great pleasure of mine to meet Ann for the first (&, as it turned out, the last) time a couple of years ago. RIP

We only met Anne once and that was last year when Joanne and I instigated she and my father Jack (her cousin) meeting for the first time in over 80 years. It was lovely to hear them reminiscing of old times and just a shame they didn’t know of each other or of either side of the family back then. We are so very sad to hear of Anne’s passing and our thoughts are with Joanne and all her family at this sad and difficult time. We remain grateful we did get to meet her even if it is a little sad that it took more than 80 years to learn we had so many cousins. Our thoughts and sympathy are with all her family and friends. Jane, Jack and Kay

Ann was a wonderful sister and I have so many fond memories of growing up together. We came from a large close family (four boys and two girls) and although I moved away from Sheffield as a young adult, we always kept in touch and I can't believe she is no longer with us. My daughter, Debbie, and her family were fortunate enough to spend time with their Auntie Ann recently and discover what a wonderful caring and fun loving person she was. Our hearts go out to all the family at this very sad time. Rest in peace and God bless you, Ann. Lots of love Peter, Sue, Debbie, Marc and Charlotte xxx

I’m so sad to hear about Ann’s passing, I always knew how young she was at heart, how kind and caring she was and how much her family loved her. I know she will be missed greatly but the memories will continue and she won’t be forgotten. Love to all the family, love Helen xx

I’m so, sorry you’re gone, Ann. You were so much fun and will be missed x

I can’t believe she’s gone, Jen. Ann will be so missed - she was part of the gang 💗 I’ll never forget the Boxing Day your mum kindly welcomed me into your family home in Broomhill. She was so kind and fiercely proud of your ‘fluent French’ and ‘grade 8 cornet’ playing 😂. I also remember her asking you to sing for her. She loved your voice, and your singing brought her to tears 💗 She loved you so much x She was the life and soul of the party, as well as being so thoughtful buying little gifts for Sam and Maya, (Sam still plays with the sticky spider toy she gave him at RiteTrax festival) and a loving and devoted grandma. The last time I saw her was in March at the baby group in Nether Edge - she seemed so well, and so proud of Jack. I can’t believe she’s gone x Im truly sorry from the bottom of my heart 💗x

Will be sorely missed. Many happy memories from family get togethers (Alcohol included). Dancing, drinking, discussions and Karaoke were always the name of the game. RIP Auntie Ann and all my love to Uncle Ian, Jen and the rest of the family. Xxxx
