Mrs. Baber was born December 3, 1925 in Liberty, TN to the late William Grady Evans and Pauline Fite Evans.  In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by husband, Charles Boddie Baber; brother and sister-in-law, Bill Evans and Alma Jean Evans.  She is survived by son, Dr. William “Bill” Evans Baber (Tina) of Gallatin; granddaughter, Katherine Baber; grandson, Cash Boone; and very special friend, Lisa Woodard, who provided Ann with loving care in her declining years.

Ann’s father was a school principal, as well as coach of both boys and girls athletic teams.  After living in several towns in Middle and East Tennessee, her family settled near Chattanooga, where Ann enrolled at the University, studied music at the Cadek Conservatory and sang in the Chattanooga Civic Chorus.  After the sudden tragic death of her father, she transferred to MTSU, where she graduated.  She continued her education at Peabody College where she received a Master’s Degree in Library Science.  Mrs. Baber left teaching for a short while, working in Clarksville with the Regional Library Services, delivering books to six counties who did not have library services.  One of her counties was Sumner where she met and later married Charles Baber.  Ann then resumed her career as a librarian at Joelton High School, Isaac Litton High School, and completed a 41 year teaching career at Guild Elementary School in Gallatin.

Following retirement, Mrs. Baber delivered Meals on Wheels as a volunteer with her sister-in-law, Helen Baber.  She was a long time member of First Presbyterian Church of Gallatin, having served as Sunday School teacher, choir member, and substitute pianist.  Online condolences may be submitted at familyheritagefh.com.  Family Heritage Funeral Home has been honored with arrangements.
