Anna “Ann” P. Busby October 28, 1933 - June 6, 2024 Ann Busby was called Home by her Heavenly Father on June 6, 2024. She was born on October 28, 1933, in Moultrie, GA. Ann, age 90, was the daughter of Clarence Elmo Pate and Ellie Minerva Johnson Pate (Greene). Ann enjoyed a 31-year career at the Bank of Commerce and was known for her excellent training skills and friendly personality. She made a lasting impression as she greeted customers by name and developed friendships. Ann was a faithful member of First Baptist Church of Americus, and a past member of the Morning Glory Garden Club. She and her husband, Jack, had a passion for sharing God’s love with others and participated in 17 domestic mission trips. An excellent cook, Ann was generous in sharing her talent with friends and neighbors.
