Ann Bassett Pack Batchelor || Obituary

Ann Bassett Pack Batchelor, age 77 of Paris, Texas went to be with her Savior, The Lord Jesus Christ, the early morning of February 16, 2025 surrounded by her two daughters.

A memorial service has been planned on Ann’s birthday, Monday, April 7, 2025 at 11:00 AM at Blossom Church of God with Rev. Benny Dollins and Dr. Tommy Turner officiating.  The family will receive friends on Sunday, April 6, 2025 from 3:00 to 4:00 PM at Fry-Gibbs Funeral Home.

Ann was born on April 7, 1947 in Bryan, Texas to Nellie Sula Allen Pack and Bassett Livingston Pack.  She grew up in Hillsboro and later in Waco.  Ann graduated from Richfield High School in 1965 and continued her education at Baylor University. She became a Christian early in life.  She was always quick to tell you that God always got her through any struggles she had in life.  Ann was an Educator for over 36 years, having taught for Paris ISD, Bells ISD, Sherman ISD and retired from Allen ISD. Many of her students have re-connected with her down through the years just to let her know how much of an impact she had on them.  She cherished each student she had and did her very best to instill positive attitudes into each one.

After her return to Paris, Ann was re-acquainted with former friends and made many new one.  She became active in several organizations.  She attended the First Baptist Church of Paris and the Blossom Church of God, where she worshipped in her own sincere, quite way.  Ann had a kind and warm spirit.  Many people will miss her and her sweet smile.

She is survived by her daughters, Kimberly Ann Hutchison of Leadville, Colorado and Brook Allison Batchelor of Sevierville, Tennessee; cousin, Robert Maxwell of Waco, Texas; extended family, Donna Pyeatt of Blossom, Texas and her family; numerous dear, special friends.

She was preceded in death by her mother and father.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests for memorials to be made to the Blossom Church of God Winterfest Fund or to the Paris First Baptist Church Ann Batchelor Scholarship Fund.
