Ann E. (Moore) Bruns, 54, of Grand Island passed away on Thursday, June 16, 2016 at her home with her family at her side. Mass of Christian burial will be at 2:00 p.m. Monday at Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church. Father Tom Ryan will officiate. A gathering of friends and family will be from 3-5 p.m. Sunday at the church with a time for prayer and sharing at 4:45 p.m. All Faiths Funeral Home is serving the family. Ann was born February 14, 1962 at Spalding, Nebraska to Robert and Betty Jo (Clark) Moore. She grew up in Greeley, attended Sacred Heart Grade School and graduated from Greeley High School, Class of 1980. She received an Associate Degree from Grand Island School of Business. Ann married Dennis Bruns on April 30, 1983 and they made their home in Grand Island. As the owner and manager of Island Pet Resort, Ann had a love for animals. When she wasn’t grooming for her own business, she volunteered at Central Nebraska Humane Society. She also co-owned Bruns Construction with her husband. Prior to opening Island Pet Resort, she owned “Ann’s Pet Salon” at several locations in Grand Island and also trained and worked for Norma Shullaw. Ann was a member of Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church. She adored her family and always made time for them. They will always remember the many weekends spent camping and boating at the lake. More recently she supported her family with their “Mud Truck Racing” at events throughout Nebraska and the Midwest. A highlight of each year was attending the Nebraska State Fair almost nightly after it moved to Grand Island. Ann’s extended family included many cherished friends, who frequently gathered in her kitchen for coffee, meals and conversation. Her kindness and generosity have had an impact on many. Those left to cherish Ann’s memory include her husband, Dennis; daughter, Deanna Bruns and son, Andrew Bruns all of Grand Island; brother, James Moore of San Francisco, CA; sisters, Ellen (Daniel) Gitt of Kearney and Kate (Paul) Glaser of Spalding; sister-in-law, Tami James Moore of Kearney; parents-in-law, Johnnie and Nancy Bruns; and sisters-in-law, Deb (Dan) Bergman and Denise (Scott) Shafer, of Grand Island; and a host of extended family and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents and brother, Pat Moore. Memorials are suggested to the family for future designation.
