Ann Berndt, resident of DeLand, Florida, passed away peacefully on May 22, 2025, at the age of 82. Born on April 24, 1943, Ann was a beloved member of the Alliance Community in DeLand, where she made lasting friendships and touched the lives of many with her kindness and warm spirit.
Ann was known for her deep love of animals, especially horses, turtles, ducks, parrots, and parakeets. She had unwavering compassion for those around her. She was a gentle soul with a generous heart—always ready with a kind word, a listening ear, or a helping hand. Her loyalty and warmth made her a true friend to many. She was known as a "golden haired princess".
She is survived by her dear friend, Joel Nadler, who was a constant source of support and companionship in her later years.
Ann will be remembered with love and gratitude by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a local animal shelter in Ann’s memory.
