Elva "Ann" Green Waller Duggan Obituary (1935

Elva “Ann” Green Waller Duggan of Dove Canyon, California was a caring wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, and friend. She left this world on Friday, June 17, 2022, one week shy of her 87th birthday, after a long struggle with dementia. She was born at home to Charles Alvin Green and Elva Vaughn Smith Green on June 23, 1935 in Provo, Utah, the oldest of their six children. After graduating from Provo High School, she joined the United States Air Force and was stationed at Ramey AFB in Puerto Rico. There, she met and married Jack Garland Waller, Jr. They moved to Vacaville, California where they had three children: Jack III, Barry, and Jon. Ann and Jack moved back to Provo where Jack completed an Engineering degree. Upon his graduation in 1967, the family settled in Costa Mesa, California, where they raised their family. Most of her adult life, Ann worked as a medical secretary and with various home businesses to help support her family. She was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Later in life, she met and married James Duggan and quickly bonded with James’ four children: James Jr., John, Jeanette, and Thomas. Aside from her family, Ann’s passions included music and genealogy. Ann frequently led the music in church, sang in and directed church choirs, and performed vocal solos from time to time. Her love for music performance moved her to earn an Associate of Arts degree in music at the age of 38 from Orange Coast College while singing in the college choral ensembles and wining performing roles in college sponsored musicals. She learned to play the piano and organ later in life. Ann is survived by her sons: Jack III (Camille) of Dove Canyon, California and Jon (Julie) of Henderson, Nevada; 8 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren; her sisters: Rayma Parcher and Autumn Mitchell; and several nieces and nephews. Ann was preceded in death by her son Barry, her brother Robert, her sister Charlotte, and her husband James.
