December 7, 1953 – December 22, 2013
Ann Kniskern passed away on December 22, 2013 from cancer. She was one semester short of her art degree (class of 1976) when she had to leave IWU. She subsequently finished her art degree at the University of Wisconsin, and furthered her education by getting a graphic art degree, her chosen professional field. She and I met in Gulick Hall in 1972, and moved to Madison, WI together on a whim in 1976. Ann and I, along with our families, remained dearest friends for the rest of her life. She was greatly loved by many people for her open heart and good nature. She is survived by her husband, Jim Cousin, and her sons Sam (29) and Carl (25) Cousin.
