Ann E. Cosner

Ann E. Baas Cosner, 87 years young, of Newton Township, went home to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on June 25, 2018. Born to the late Arthur and Stephanie Baas, she grew up in Clarks Summit.

She was a 1949 graduate of Clarks Summit High School, where she met her beloved husband Robert in 7th grade. After high school, she graduated from Lackawanna Junior College where she attended a secretarial course. She worked at Capitol Records for four years before becoming a housewife, a stay at home mother, and a true matriarch.

Beginning in the 1990's, she and her husband went on 13 mission trips around the world building churches and spreading the Word of God. A longtime member of the Mill City Assembly of God Church, her love and strong faith for Jesus always shone through her and inspired those around her.

She is survived by her husband Robert, son William (Lynn) of Boyertown, PA, and daughter Elizabeth Breslin of Palm Beach Gardens, FL, son in law Keith Lewis and wife Debra of Lancaster, PA . Also her 10 grandchildren, Frank Sobocinski, (Andrea) of Jupiter, FL, Amanda Shoff (Jonathan) of Lancaster, PA, Cliff Lewis (Jennifer) of Lancaster, PA, Rachel Cooney (Jim) of Scranton, PA, Caleb Lewis of Asbury Park, NJ, Brent Cosner of Boyertown, PA, Noah Lewis (Katie) of Downingtown, PA, Jacob Lewis (Karen) of Lancaster, PA, Isaac Lewis and Karen Hope Lewis of Lancaster, PA, 9 great grandchildren, nieces, and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her sister, Elizabeth VanDuzer and 2 brothers, Stephen and George Baas, 2 children, Robert Charles Cosner Jr., Christine Ann Lewis and a grandchild, Chloe Elizabeth Lewis.

The love and pride that Ann had for her family was like no other. She loved to show off pictures of her grandchildren and great grandchildren as often as she could. She found beauty in everything. She loved to take pictures of flowers, sunsets, birds and of course her kids. One of her most used phrases was "Oh, I wish I had my camera."

Her family would like to send a special thank you to all of the staff at Allied Skilled Nursing facility and Allied Hospice who made her last days as pleasant and comfortable as possible.

A memorial service will be held at the Mill City Assembly of God on July 5, 2018 at 11:00am.
