Ann Risinger Finger Flinn was born to J. Crawford and Josephine Risinger in San Antonio on January 11, 1916 and passed away on January 5, 2004, 6 days shy of her 88th birthday. She graduated from St. Mary's Parochial School in 1932 where she was class president and most popular of her class. She then attended two years of college at Our Lady of the Lake University and held jobs at Gilcrease Oil Company and Kelly Field which was later known as Kelly Air Force Base. Then while working at San Antonio Savings and Loan in 1942, she met her future husband, Tom Finger, at a Highway 90 League baseball game which was umpired by her brother-in-law, Lou Barbour. They married in 1944 and she traveled with him as he pursued his baseball career, living in Dallas, Wichita Falls, Louisiana and finally in San Antonio. In 1948, they settled in D'Hanis. She started working at D'Hanis State Bank in 1950 and worked there for 33 years. She and Tom were active in the community throughout their married life. In 1972, she lost Tom to cancer. She continued working at the bank and being involved in the community and with her two daughters. After retiring from D'Hanis Bank in 1983, she was able to travel to see relatives in Canada, California and Colorado, and also saw the sights of Hawaii, the New England States, New York, and parts of Europe. Yet the best part of retiring she always said was that she was able to spend time with the lights of her life - her grandchildren. In 1995, a few months after the birth of her twin grandsons, fate brought her together with Leland Flinn, her boyfriend in college. They married in August, 1995 and enjoyed traveling, while keeping their homes in both D'Hanis and Houston. Ann will be remembered as always smiling behind that teller window, her wonderful personality, her love of dancing, but most of all for opening her home for many family get-togethers, songfests and the many Christmas Eve parties that she held every year for almost 40 years. She was a member of the Holy Cross Catholic Church, Altar Society, American Cancer Society, and Our Lady of the Lake Alumni Association. She is preceded in death by her parents, first husband Tom Finger, daughter Frieda Finger, son Thomas Crawford Finger, brother R. Patrick Risinger, sister Mary Barbour and an infant grandson. She is survived by her husband of 8 years, Leland Flinn of Houston, daughters and sons-in-law, Molly & Steve Turner of Uvalde and Sally & Garland Bader of Hondo, and her grandchildren Thomas Turner, Cassandra Turner, Benjamin Bader, Bradley Bader, and Joseph Bader. Also surviving her are two sisters-in-law Velma Finger and Gladys Risinger, and several nieces, nephews, and godchildren. Two special people in her life were her caregivers for 5 years, Vera Ayala and Terry Trevino.
