Ann Cosper 78, of Crestview, Florida passed away peacefully on Sunday, July 14th, 2024 At Twin Cities Hospital in Niceville, Florida.
Ann was born on September 20, 1945 in Hamilton, Ohio to Edward and Geneva Brinegar. She moved her family to Florida in 1972 from Auburn, Alabama and has been a resident ever since.
Ann was an incredible woman who accomplished many amazing things in her life. Although her life was full of challenges, she went on to become the first female president of the local IBEW union. Through her work there she fought day and night to ensure the safety and rights of her fellow workers at the local telephone company.
Ann was an amazing Mother, Grandmother, and Great Grandmother. Her home was always open and she always made sure her kids and grandkids had everything they could ever need before taking care of her own needs. She gave selflessly and all she asked for in return was the occasional box of Krispy Kreme Donuts when the Hot and Fresh sign was on.
Ann is preceded in death by her parents, Edward Brinegar and Geneva McFadden Bowling, her sister, Wanda Blair, her brothers, Wayne Farmer and Steven Frye.
Ann is survived by her Sister: Phyllis Durgan (Dennis), Brothers: Edwin Garvin, Michael Brinegar, Daughters: Becky Cosper, Kathy Butler, and Susan Wagner (Wes), Grandchildren: Tim Sollers, Shelley Butler, David Smith (Jenna), Christina Smith, James Smith, Great grandchildren: Bentley, Carter, Nevaeh and Jameson.

I met Ann as a neighbor when we moved to Florida. We walked together many evenings along with daughter Becky and another neighbor, I did this to get to know her better. I enjoyed her loving spirit and also that she loved feeding the birds in her yard. She will be missed by me.

Momma,
How do I say goodbye when my heart is aching? How do I go on when there is a huge hole in my life now? You’ve help me get through some of the hardest times in my life and you were the glue that always held this family together. No one will ever be able to replace you. Until I see you again, I love you more than words can say.
Your daughter, Becky
