LONG VALLEY, NJ — Ann "Annie" Marie (neé Horan) Baumbach, 67, passed away Sunday, January 26, at her home in Long Valley surrounded by her loving family.

Baumbach was born September 3, 1952, in The Bronx, New York, to her late parents, John and Kathleen (neé Quinn) Horan.

A parishioner of St. Luke Parish in Long Valley, Baumbach is said to have enjoyed singing, laughing, walking, reading and needle point. But, her greatest joy in life was her family — especially her grandchildren.
