Ann “Nee” Stephanie Poley passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones on December 1, 2024, at Michigan Medicine in Ann Arbor at the age of 82.
Ann was born in St. Louis, Missouri on February 19, 1942, and lived in Chelsea, Michigan. Ann was the daughter of Stephen Harvey and Lucille (McHenry) Nicholson.
There are no words that could capture the caliber of woman that Ann was, but here is the closest one could come to doing so:
Ann was a devout Catholic, having attended Catholic school as a young girl. She attended and became an active member of Zion Lutheran Church in Chelsea after marrying her husband Howard Poley, Jr., and returned to her Catholic roots, attending St. Mary Catholic Church in Chelsea. Ann would always tell her friends and family she was “rolling the beads” for them when prayers were needed. Her rosary went with her wherever she went and was worn thin from use.
The Funeral Mass will be held Thursday, December 5, 2024, 11:00 a.m. at St. Mary Catholic Church in Chelsea, with the V. Rev. Dr. William J. Canon Turner officiating. Burial will follow at Zion Lutheran Cemetery, in Chelsea. The family will receive friends at Cole Funeral Chapel in Chelsea, Wednesday from 2-4 and 6-8 (with a vigil service at 7 p.m.), as well as at the church Thursday from 10-11 a.m.
