In 2014 when Ann retired from the roles, her daughter Debbie Pick, stepped up the plate and took on the mantel of following in her mothers’ footsteps with these roles. Ann also played a significant part in the Trustee team that campaigned, fundraised and assisted with the design of the Falklands Memorial, which was unveiled at the National Memorial Arboretum in 2012, for the 30th anniversary.
