Brockport, NY: God called one of his beautiful angels, Ann (Knauff) Finkbeiner, home to heaven on Monday, April 12, 2021.

Finkbeiner; mother to Heidi Early, Tricia Sanborn (Keith), and Jill Boadway (Tom); grandmother to Justin, Jaime, Brianna, Aiden, Abigail, and Madelyn; as well as a sister to Joseph Knauff (Karen) and deceased Noel Knauff (Renee); sister-in-law to Jean Bickel (Bob); many loved nieces, nephews and cousins.
Those who knew her were touched by her joy for life and an unwavering faith in God, seeing his hand in all of life’s little moments. She enjoyed being with people and sought comfort in helping others. Her vibrant personality was expressed through her love for music and dancing. She leaves her perpetual mark by passing these gifts on to her adoring family.
