Ann Clelland's Obituary
Ann Clelland (nee Inglis), formerly of Burlington, NJ, passed away peacefully on September 28, 2022, she was 86 years old.
Born in Glasgow, Scotland the NEVER GIVE IN* attitude of the British doing World War II formed her early childhood. She left home at age of 16 to start her career in healthcare/nursing that she pursued until the birth of her children.
