GROSS, Ann passed away Feb. 9, 2016. She was born July 5, 1924 in Dubuque, IA to Caroline and Leo Blasen and was a life-long resident of Bettendorf, IA. Ann was an extraordinary woman who led her life with love, humor, joy, generosity, and a deep concern for others. She possessed a radiant smile filled with love. Most of all she was an amazing wife to her beloved Bob, a precious mom to her children and a devoted and loving woman to her dear relatives, friends and neighbors. There was always something "cookin' in the kitchen" at Ann's house; her home was a source of joy for her and all of us who were lucky to be a part of her life. Everyone liked hanging out with Ann. She found the good in everyone she encountered, she touched so many lives, and she was always grateful for the amazing life that she lived. Ann worked at the Rock Island Arsenal, retiring in 1985 after 21 years of service. She moved to Largo in 2005, to be near her daughter and son, and her final years were happily spent at the Palms of Largo. Ann is survived by her daughter, Constance Gross and son, Arnold Schneider of Clearwater. Ann was preceded in death by her husband, Robert L. Gross and her son, Richard L. Gross.
A memorial gathering will be held at Royal Palms in Largo Thursday, Feb. 18 from 2-4 pm. Burial will take place at the Rock Island Arsenal National Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Ann's name to www.riverbendfoodbank.org.
