Ann K. Hastedt

Ann K. Hastedt, 83, of Dover, died Monday, January 10, 2011 at Union Hospital.

She was born May 4, 1927 in Roswell, New Mexico, the daughter of the late Elizabeth Ames Fuller and Phillip Klingsmith.

After high school, Ann moved to Philadelphia so she could study nursing at Chestnut Hill Nursing School. It was there that she met her husband, Dr. Robert C. Hastedt, who was studying at nearby Jefferson Medical School. They were married in 1948, and then spent the next twelve years moving to various parts of the country while Dr. Hastedt completed his Naval service. The Hastedt family settled in Dover in 1960, and made this community their home. Dr. Hastedt preceded his wife in death on June 30, 1994.

Ann will be remembered for her nurturing spirit, her love of gardening, and her kindness to all who knew her. For more than 30 years, she was a volunteer with the Mobile Meals program. She was also active in the Union Hospital Auxiliary, the Tuscarawas County YMCA, and Jr. Clionian. Ann was a devoted member of New Philadelphia's Trinity Episcopal Church.
