Havre —Ann Theresa McLain, 101, longtime resident of Havre, Montana, died Sunday, April 5, 2015, at Northern Montana Care Center.

On June 4, 1938 she married Woodrow B. (Mac) McLain in Havre at St. Jude Catholic Church. They both loved square dancing and having active roles in their church activities and groups.

Ann celebrated her 101st birthday with family and friends last December. She enjoyed cooking, gardening and visiting with all her friends. The many family calls, cards and visits to her home, and excellent care giving, helped to encourage her long life. Ann was especially proud of and cherished all her grandchildren, great-grandchildren and her great-great-grandchildren. She was a member of The Catholic Daughters of Havre. She will be deeply missed by all.
