Ann B. Rhead, 95, of Bartlett, died Friday, January 22, 2021.
She was born to Hunter and Mary (Lamar) Burton, November 6, 1925, in Daviess County, Kentucky. While on a visit to Cedar Rapids, IA, in 1949, she met David H. Rhead. Ann and David were married in 1950 and settled in Cedar Rapids. In 1969, they moved to Marshalltown, IA, where Ann managed So Fro Fabrics from 1970 to 1976, Ann and David moved to Bartlett, TN, where they both retired.
Ann became an avid Bridge player in her retirement and for many years she and a close group of friends would play every Thursday. She also decided to try the game her husband loved so much, golf, and although she never shared the passion for the game that her husband possessed, she played quite well. She loved to sew and crochet and made all her own clothes, as well as curtains and pillows. She crocheted many Afghans and doilies for family members.
Ann is survived by her daughter, Carol Tessen of Bartlett, TN; her grandchildren, Sean Tessen of East Petersburg, PA; Karrah (Jafet) Camacho of York, PA; Justin (Angela) Tessen of Lancaster, PA; and four great-grandchildren.
