Ann Virginia Pagura, 40, of Hart, a loving mother, wife, daughter, and sister, passed peacefully in her home on Friday, September 27, 2024. Born to William Cyphers and Kelly Aiken on June 24, 1984, Ann grew to be known by those close to her as a generous woman of fierce conviction, infectious laughter, and impenetrable protectiveness.
Ann was an entrepreneur who brought her visions out into our physical world, leaving behind many keepsakes of her creative spirit through her design work for family, friends, and local establishments like the VFW, the police department, sports teams, and frequented places to eat and drink.
Her soul was as beautiful and enthralling as her handwriting. It took up so much more space than the 4 feet, 10 3/4 of an inch that she stood, though she was nearly a terrifying five feet taller than any person she yanked from a bar stool.
Ann will continue to garner love from those by whom she is survived: husband, Josh Pagura; daughter, Bella Hammerle; mother, Kelly Aiken; brothers, Justin Chupp and Will Cyphers; sisters, Rachel Schutter and Natalie Cyphers; nephew, Liam Chupp; mother-in-law, Denise Pagura; father-in-law, Steve Pagura; and sisters-in-law, Angela Pagura-DeSanto and Christina Pagura; as well as a multitude of adoring members of her extended family. Ann also leaves behind many special friends whom she spoke highly of, including Jessie White, Melissa Shefke, Jeremy Ehrke, Barbi Farber, and Katie Farber.
Memorial services will be held at 2 p.m., Saturday, October 5, 2024, centrally located between Hesperia and Hart at 3863 East Baseline Road, Shelby. A structure will be placed to receive pictures, trinkets, or any other offerings to honor her and leave with her daughter.
May the presence of her love, passion, and protection be always felt in her absence.
Beacon Cremation & Funeral Service, King-Hart Chapel, is in charge of arrangements.
