Clara Ann Lapham, age 86, passed away on December 11, 2025.
C. Ann Lapham was born February 25, 1939 in Pontiac, MI to the late Byron and Ruth Ann Lapham nee Pelzer.
She is survived by two brothers, Richard Lapham of Merritt, MI, and John (Beth) Lapham of Saugatuck, MI; two sisters, Linda (Tom) Pilgrim of New Waverly, TX, and Brenda (Richard) Peretin of California; and her dear friend, Cyndy Bauer.
Ann was preceded in death by her parents, and her brothers Tom Lapham and Charles Lapham.
Ann worked for many years as a legal secretary and proudly earned her pilot’s license in her younger years. She held a deep and abiding faith in Christ. While Ann loved all animals, horses were the true joy of her life. She spent years as a jockey, earning numerous awards, and cherished the time she spent riding and caring for her beloved horses.
In her downtime, Ann enjoyed playing golf, and she found great peace living in the countryside of Jonesburg surrounded by her horses. She owned and operated Ann’s Precious Pets touching the lives of countless families and their pets.
Memorial donations can be made to the Humane Society or a charity of your choice in care of Pitman Funeral Home P.O. Box 126 Warrenton, MO 63383
