Ann Stevenson, 92, died peacefully on July 14, 2012, at Danbury Hospital. She was born August 22, 1919, to Patrick and Mabel Troy. Ann, known as Mimi to all who cherished her, will be remembered for her love of children and strength of spirit. As a young woman, Ann attended Bethel High School and then began work at Singer Sewing Machine Co. She married her sweetheart, John Stevenson, in 1942 and started a family soon after. In 1951, she and John founded Stevenson's Imported Car Center. Later in life, Mimi was a dedicated grandmother to thirteen grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren. Never without a child in her arms, Mimi was the epitome of warmth and compassion. To enter her home was to become part of the family.
