Ann was 65 years old when she left us in the early morning hours of September 13, 2025 in West Columbia, South Carolina.

She was born in Conway, SC on August 27, 1960 and grew up in Hanahan, SC. Ann was an auburn haired, sharp witted, wild child of the family. With a naughty smile she could talk you into all kinds of trouble. Of course, when the trouble found you, well, she was there for that as well. She was humorous and strong-willed. Ann left each of us with a lifetime of memories. Loving mother, her mother’s confidant, her father’s red headed chicken, an adoring grandmother as well as a faithful sister. Ann lived and loved life, had her own sass and style. She didn’t know how to give up and when her health began to fail, she never faltered but had sheer determination to the end.

She is survived by her mother, Margaret Herring; son, Burton Ryder McCloughan; grandchildren, Ronin and Shyah; brother, Larry Herring (Donna); sisters, Cathy Kaiser (Allen) and Lynn Falin (Beau); and many nieces and nephews.
