Ann Bradley Backus, 79, of Hot Springs Village, Ark., passed on Monday April 29, 2019 at St. Vincent Hospital in Hot Springs, Ark. after a short illness.
Ann was born to Gerald and Elizabeth Bradley, May 22, 1939, in Charleston, West Virginia. She graduated from Charleston High School in 1957 and attended Marshall University.

Ann was a bank teller for National Bank of Commerce in Memphis, Tenn. and greeted every customer with a joke and a smile until she retired in 1994.
