Ann Delores Radford, 81, of Rockingham, passed away in her home Monday, Dec. 23, 2024.
Ann is a daughter of the late Lunette and Eugene Driggers.
Along with her parents, she is preceded in death by sisters Barbara Taylor and Iris Salzer; a daughter, Mary Annette Radford; a son, Mark Radford; and husband, Ben Radford.
Ann was a loving and virtuous woman. If there was a single person that would absolutely make it to Heaven, it would be Ann. She was a woman that loved her family and faith dearly. She never met a stranger and was always happy to help lend a hand to those in her community that were in need. She was a caretaker to many and a friend to even more and she will be missed deeply.
Ann is survived by children Matt Radford (Margaret), Jeff Radford (Pam), David Radford and Tammy Cox (Drew); grandchildren, Johnathan Taylor, Dalton Radford (Kirsten), Breanna Radford, Ryan Radford, Nick Radford, Dylan Radford (Stacey) Bryson Gathings and fiancé (Jessica), Avery Wyand and Anthony Cox; great-grandchildren, Skarlette Radford, Aiden Troutman, Hayley Brigman and one on the way, baby Liam Radford; sister, Wanda Betz; and daughter-in-law, Tina Radford.
The family will receive friends for visitation Saturday, Dec. 28, 2024, from 1 to 2:30 p.m. at Highland Pines Freewill Baptist Church. A funeral will follow at 3 p.m. with the Rev. Teddy Rabon officiating. Burial will follow at Northam Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial donations of non-perishable food be donated to any local food banks in the area to honor the virtuous life of Ann.
