Elizabeth Ann Cavett, born January 10, 1945 in San Antonio TX, passed away peacefully on August 11, 2009, after a brave and lengthy battle with ovarian cancer, first diagnosed in August of 1999. "I have fought a good fight. I have finished my course. I have kept the faith." II Timothy 4:7 A San Antonio resident most of her life, Ann graduated from Thomas Edison High School in 1963. While raising three daughters, she was very active in scouting, PTA, homemaking, and most importantly, managing her family. Ann worked very hard to become an extraordinarily talented decorative artist, and was a 2-term past president of the Alamo Decorative Artists, attending many seminars and conventions both in and out of the state of Texas. Her artistic talents were recognized on two separate occasions in particular when Christmas trees at the White House were graced with her painted ornaments. Always very positive, cheerful, and outgoing, Ann was an inspiration to those around her as she encouraged many other chemotherapy patients who were fearful and apprehensive of what could lie ahead. Ann was a constant source of joy and humor, providing unconditional love and support to her family. She had every confidence that God was in complete control of her destiny and lived her life accordingly. She was preceded in death by her father Louis Adam Wendel, and is survived by mother, Margaret Burrer Wendel, husband and best friend Andrew Cavett, daughters Andrea Hargreaves and husband Mark, Sherri Walters and husband Bubba, and Jill Miller and husband Robert.
