Thank you for visiting the memorial website for Ann Adele Clinch, nee Johnson, who was dearly loved by family and friends alike. 

Ann was born in Hillingdon Borough in 1955. After living briefly at her grandmother's house, she moved to Eastcote to be raised by her adoring parents, Polly and Johnny. The beautiful blend of having a north London Father and little Irish Mother shaped Ann into the wonderful person she became. Although she was an only child, she had dozens of cousins on both sides of the Irish sea, and really enjoyed visiting Tipperary every summer. 

After studying typing at school, Ann became a secretary at British Telecom in Central London, where she made lifelong friends. Not once but twice Ann went to Oscars nightclub and met the same man....John. After seeing each other sporadically, their relationship slowly grew into something that would become eternal. Despite never receiving a proposal, they went on to marry in July 1984, surrounded by friends family and with Johns daughter Sherie as a bridesmaid.

After famously honeymooning in Hawaii and achieving lifelong dreams by visiting Rio the following year, Ann and John announced to the world that they were pregnant with their son Lee. 

She then started the job she was born to do, became a full-time Mum, and moved into her forever home with John and Lee on Warren Road Whitton in 1987. Shortly after, in 1989, Katie followed to complete the family. 

Throughout the 90s, Ann enjoyed quality family time, taking mini breaks in February with John, Family Holidays in the summer, and year-round trips to Butlins, Minehead, with her children and parents. Sadly, Ann lost her Dad in 1996, causing great sadness due to their closeness and love.

As her children grew older, Ann decided to get back to work and became a dinner lady in various schools, allowing her to be at home when needed. As Lee and Katie became more independent with age, and Ann could work full-time, she was very excited to start her dream job, becoming a typist at the metropolitan police. This job allowed her to make further quality friendships and get an inside scoop of all the wrongens and dramas of the local area. Some would call her, Detective Frost.

The early 2010's were both painful and testing for Ann, as Katie moved to Australia in 2010 and Lee moved to the Netherlands in 2011 and then her beloved little Irish mother, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly in 2012. Despite this obvious sorrow, Ann could still enjoy her life, spending more time holidaying with John to luxurious destinations, including visiting their children and places such as the Caribbean and Cuba. 

Devastatingly, John died after a year-long battle with cancer in 2016; Ann lost the love of her life, her best friend and knew that she could never love again. However, she still managed to make the best of her time, choosing to continue to travel, visiting her children and famously going wild in Las Vegas. Instead of feeling lonely, Ann chose to make the best of things by enjoying her retirement, freedom and truly embraced her enforced independence. 

In 2023, Ann's heart became full with the birth of her Grandson Flynn, she was absolutely besotted, and this convinced her to finally cave into Katie's pressure and begin making plans for her to move Down Under. 
Sadly, Ann was not able to fulfil her Australian destiny as the cruelness of cancer, forced her into a battle with the disease, where she fought so hard and endured so much but she was unable to defeat.

Leaving behind a devastated family, of Flynn, Lee, Katie, their partners, Benta and Jimmy as well as Sherie and Kai who will carry on to tell all of her kindness, good nature and funny stories.
