Mary Ann Broderick Laible, affectionately known as "Grannie Annie", 73, of Mt. Sterling,  passed away Tuesday afternoon, February 22, 2022 surrounded by loved ones at her residence.  She was born in Great Bend, Kansas on June 8, 1948 to the late Francis "Frank" Sr. and Kathryn Hagen Broderick.

Ann moved to Montgomery County eight years ago from Raleigh, North Carolina to spend time with her grandchildren.  She retired from the state of North Carolina as a surveillance supervisor in the communicable disease department of the CDC.  She is a member of the First Church of God of Mt Sterling.

She enjoyed going to her grandchildren's sports games and watching the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals on TV.  Ann was a wonderful listener, had a fantastic sense of humor, and was a joy to spend time with. She will be dearly missed by her family, church family and friends.
