Remembering Ann Hopkins

I'm sad to share that Ann B. Hopkins passed away on Sunday, June 23. She was 74 years old and died due to complications caused by acute peripheral sensory neuropathy. She was a beloved mentor to many with many memorable moments and habits like her famous walks around the office building to talk through issues or her quizzical look while twirling her eye glasses.

EDITED

A celebration of Ann's life was held on Saturday, September 8, 2018 at the Field School in Foxhall neighborhood of Washington, D.C. More than 400 people attended including 100+ friends and colleagues from Price Waterhouse.
