Ann Frances (Dooley) Soucie was born on February 25, 1924 to Jerry & Loretta (Powers) Dooley in Hot Springs, South Dakota. She passed away on Tuesday, March 29, 2011 at Grandview Manor Nursing Home in Campbell, Nebraska at the age of 87. Her passing is a great loss to her many friends and large family as her strength and courage while battling many health issues was an inspiration to all.

Growing up in the "gumbo" country near Oelrichs, South Dakato, Ann was the eleventh of twelve children and very proud of her Irish Catholic ancestry. She graduated from Assumption Academy and Chadron State College in Chadron, Nebraska. With a degree in education, she taught two years at Upland High School.

Ann was active in numerous community organizations including Women's Club, P.E.O., American Legion Auxiliary, St. Anne's Altar Society, Campbell Area Chamber of Commerce, Franklin County Historical Society and served as a 4-H Leader. Ann always had a project or two spread out on her dining room table and while the dishes may have piled up on the counter, she had a passion for research, writing and editing. Some of the projects included "Along and Beyond the Little Blue," "The Centennial History of Campbell" and "Those Good Old Golden Rural Days" the rural schools of Franklin County.
