Obituary of Ann Marie Titus

Ann Marie Titus, 68, passed away February 17, 2017 from complications of pancreatic cancer. She was surrounded by her children and husband in her home in Melbourne, FL. She was born in Rice Lake, Wisconsin to Irene C. (Meyer) Ludwig and Joseph N. Ludwig, and was raised in Superior, Wisconsin. She moved to Palm Bay, FL in 1983 after living many places throughout the United States and Europe as an Air Force spouse. She worked for years as an LPN and in medical offices. She is survived by her devoted husband of 47 years, Stephen D. Titus and her two loving children, Leah (Jonathan) Hicks and Peter (Tara) Titus and her beloved grandchildren, Aidan Titus, Adam Hicks, Claire Titus, Eliza Hicks and Audrey Titus. She is also survived by her siblings Bob (June) Ludwig, Dorothy (James) Russell, Agnes (Bob) Goligoski, Louise (Bill) Thauer, Bernadette (Steve) Doherty, Barbara (Joe) Montoya, Rose (Brad) Baumberger, Elizabeth (Alan) Ludwig, Thomas (Pat) Ludwig, and Joan (Mark) Winkel and many nieces and nephews. She is predeceased by her mother and father, Irene and Joseph, and her sister, Catherine (Ken) Vetter. Ann spent many hours volunteering over the years. She was a devoted Little League volunteer, on the city of Palm Bay recreational board, a PBHS Baseball booster, among many other organizations. Most recently she devoted her time as a Cuddler at Holmes Regional Medical Center. She was always willing to jump in to help anyone and fulfilled wishes for many families in need every Christmas and throughout the year. Her biggest joys were traveling, genealogy, and her grandchildren, which were the light of her life. She was always up for an adventure, big or small. She left us too soon and will be remembered as a devoted friend, a phenomenal mother, a beloved wife and a grandmother who brought daily joy to the lives of her grandchildren. Ann’s family would like to thank everyone who supported her during her two year battle with cancer. She was overwhelmed by the love and encouragement that came from all over the world as well as the care of medical professionals and care givers. A memorial mass will be held at Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Church, 3050 N. Highway A1A, Indialantic, FL 32903, on Wednesday, February 22 at 11am.
