Ann Maslanka died Wednesday, November 2, 2022, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She lived in Tulsa her entire life but was an enthusiastic summer resident of Gold Hill, which she also lovingly considered home.  Ann began visiting Gold Hill as a child, staying with her Aunt, Jeanette Wickstrom, in the early 1950s. In 1975, Ann inherited Jeannette’s cabin, and immediately involved herself in what was then a thriving community of “summer people.” Returning to her beloved cabin on Main Street for 46 summers, Ann built community, nurtured lifelong friendships, and hosted themed parties so that summer friends could celebrate the winter holidays together in July. There will be a local celebration of her life in Gold Hill this July, details pending.
