Ann Marie Hart

Ann Marie Hart (Evers) of Kettering, Ohio, age 90, peacefully departed this life on Tuesday, February 25, 2025. Ann was born on September 2, 1934, in St. Louis, Missouri, to Henry and Elizabeth Evers. As the third of twelve children, Ann grew up in a bustling household that instilled in her the values of family and community.

 Ann's journey through life began at St. Joseph’s Academy in Rocky River, Ohio, where she met her future husband, Denis Hart. The couple married in 1954, joining their lives together in a bond that would last for 70 remarkable years. They first moved to New Mexico during Denis's service in the United States Air Force, later relocating to Dayton, Ohio, where both pursued their education at the University of Dayton. Ann earned her Master’s degree in Education, which served as a foundation for her lifelong career and dedication to teaching.

 Ann’s passions extended beyond the classroom; she was an avid reader, a gardening enthusiast, and a faithful participant in Bible study. For 65 years, Ann and Denis were active members of St. Albert’s, embodying a spirit of service and community. Her heart was as generous as her spirit, reflected in her many volunteer efforts, including helping with St. Albert’s Senior Day Out, ensuring the beauty of Kettering through the neighborhood beautification committee, and assisting with the bereavement committee at St. Albert’s. She was known for her compassionate nature, always willing to lend a hand to those in need.

 Ann is lovingly survived by her daughter, Christina Hart, and her cherished siblings: Cecelia, Mary Louise, Theodore (Lucy), Carl (Eileen), Rose Marie, Jeanne, Joanne (Doug), Patricia, along with many nieces and nephews who will carry on her legacy of kindness and faith.

 She is preceded in death by her husband of 70 years, Denis Hart; her son, Philip Hart; her beloved parents, Henry and Elizabeth; and siblings Anthony, Elizabeth, and Henry.

 In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in Ann’s honor to Alter girls’ basketball or Ohio’s Hospice of Dayton. The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the compassionate nurses of Ohio’s Hospice of Dayton, especially Nurse Robin, and caregivers Sharon, Kathy, and Keya from Homewell, for their unwavering support during Ann’s final days.

 A mass of Christian burial for Anna Marie Hart will be held on Tuesday March 4th 2025 at 2pm at Calvary cemetery chapel. Family and friends are invited to gather for visitation one hour prior to the service. Ann’s life will be celebrated as we pay tribute to her kindness, deep-rooted faith, and enduring legacy of love for her family and community.

 May her soul rest in peace.
