Ann Christine Staten
July 1st, 1941 - April 3rd, 2025
Staten, Ann Christine
On April 3, 2025 Mom went home to be with the Lord.
Mom was born on July 1, 1941 in Birmingham, England. She was the daughter and only child to Dr. Monroe and Phyllis Peaston, who married in 1940.
While born in England Mom was raised in Wellington, New Zealand where her dad had been invited to accept the Parish of Wadestown/Northland.
After growing up in New Zealand Mom moved to Sydney, Australia where she met Dad and the love of her life on a blind date. Dad was in the United States Air Force at the time and was stationed at Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii.
He soon left the Air Force and they were married at All Saints Episcopal Church in Montecito on December 10, 1966. Mom’s Dad, Dr. Monroe Peaston, walked Mom down the aisle and also presided over the ceremony!
After settling into married life in Santa Barbara, Mom held several various and unique jobs, everything from being a banker to working at the UCSB Library. Mom was smart, caring, dedicated, and selfless.
In her spare time, she loved to spend time with friends and family, play Bridge, read a book, and/or have a good cup of tea or wine!
She is survived by her loving husband of almost 60 years Terry, her two sons, Tim and Phillip.
Our family wishes to express its appreciation and gratitude to the staff at Cottage Hospital and Serenity House for all of their compassionate care.
Mom, we will always love and miss you and as you always told us in the words of your Father “Go with a blessing”.
