Ann met Mark Henthorn at Iowa State University and they were married on October 14, 1978 at St. Patrick's Church, Waukon, Iowa. They enjoyed living in Overland Park and Shawnee, KS, Knoxville, TN, Centerville, VA, and Morgan Hill, CA, before moving to Muscatine early in 2001. Ann's interests included her flower garden, reading, home decorating, sewing, and a wide range of music. Ann and Mark could be seen on evening strolls and bike rides around Muscatine or attending the various local musical and drama group programs. Ann loved people in an unassuming way, finding herself a loving second mother to many of the Muscatine Community College international students. Ann was a follower of Jesus and an active member of Walnut Park Baptist Church. She taught Jesus to children from 1980 until just a month before her death. Ann's relationship with Christ Jesus defined her life. Ann was preceded in death by her parents and brother Charles T. Hall. She is survived by her loving husband, Mark of Muscatine; their three children Jonathan (Jamie) Henthorn of Morgan Hill, CA, Gina (Jonathan) Mitchell of Westminster, CO, and William "Will" (Clair) Henthorn of Fitchburg, WI, and grandchildren Eleanor and Thomas Henthorn and Thaddeus, Haven, Silas, and Paisley Mitchell.
