Ann L. McCarthy was born on Jan. 22, 1929 to Martin and Blanche Lundy
in Yonkers, New York. She left this world to be with the Lord and her
loving husband, James McCarthy, on Monday, Dec, 14, 2020. She had been
residing at Davis Place Assisted Living in Bullhead City, Arizona for
the past two years. She was very happy there and she loved the staff
very much. They loved her, too, especially her orneriness, and we
would like to thank them all very much for the love and great care
that she received there.

Ann (or Annie Bananie to her friends) went to nursing school in New
York and during administration of her duties, she met Jim. They lived
on Long Island but decided that they wanted to head out west. They
landed in Kingman, Arizona, in 1962 where Ann worked at Mohave General
Hospital and then at the junior high School as the school nurse. She
retired, however, after working as a pharmacy technician at Kingman
Regional Medical Center. She and Jim enjoyed their retired years
living in Valle Vista outside of Kingman and they loved all their
birds, rabbits and roadrunners that Jim would feed every day. Ann got
into a dart club out there, as well as a card club, and she enjoyed
that for many years. After Jim’s passing in 2017, Ann moved to
Bullhead City to be close to family.

Ann was predeceased by her brother, James T. Lundy. She is survived by
her four children and their spouses: Cathi and Larry Keating, Karen
and Buzz McClung, Brian and Jan McCarthy, and Brendan and Trish
McCarthy. She has four grandchildren: Kellie Droste (David), Angela
Helgemoe (Eric), Cole and Cade McCarthy, and Courtney and Morgan
McCarthy. She has six great-grandchildren: Nicolas and Avrie Droste,
and Evan, Alexis, Lauren and Andrew Helgemoe. We are very thankful
that we did get to spend Thanksgiving with our sweet mom/grandma this
year. It was the first time that she had seen all her great-
grandchildren at the same time.

Per Ann’s wishes no services will be held. The family would like to
thank all of Ann’s friends and caregivers for all their love and
friendship over the years. May you rest in peace, Mommy, and know that
we all miss you and love you very much.
