Ann (Annie) Jennifer DeMary passed away surrounded by loving family and friends on Tuesday, October 23, 2018 after a long and courageous battle with multiple myeloma. Annie was born on September 30, 1957 in Seattle, Washington to Dr. Milo Lawrence Heideman, Jr. and Edith Markus Heideman.
After residing in numerous states with her family, she settled in Texas, which she absolutely loved. While living in Houston, in 1985 she met and fell in love with the love of her life, Hank DeMary. They married in 1987 and over the next 31 years, they created a wonderful life together. They started a successful auto collision business in Houston that spanned over 17 years. After cultivating life-long relationships and friendships, they decided to move to Galveston in 2006 to be closer to family.
While living in Galveston, Annie volunteered for the Humane Society because she was a life-long lover of animals and made several rescue pets part of her family. Her love of exercise and yoga, her participation in Bible Study, along with her volunteer activities, made her many friends who cherished her thoughtful and generous spirit. In the past two years, she was also employed as an administrator at Edward Jones.
Annie is survived by her husband, Hank, sister Claire Heideman, brother Bruce Heideman, sister Lila Heideman and brother-in- law Bob Licht, nieces Sarah Licht and Rebecca Licht and her husband, Dan Costanza, sister-in-law Diane Laine, brother-in-law Randall Laine, Jr, nephews Randall and Kelly Laine, brother-in-law Patrick DeMary, and pets Belle, Bosco, Gray, and Bebe.
Ann was preceded in death by her parents and brother-in-law Kevin DeMary.

I knew Annie in a Bible Study on the island. She was so energetic, so full of happiness and promise. Annie, I appreciatively watched you touch other's lives. Mine included. You fought Cancer valiantly, dear One. You gave me emotional strength as I fight that fight. Celebrate your arrival to our Father's house. Gayle Temple
Annie I can't imagine classes without you! Thank you for always being in my corner! Rest In Peace my dear sweet friend. Your lovely spirit will be present in my classes for as long as I teach. Love You !
Annie things will never be the same without you in class. Thanks for always being in my corner. I love you and will miss you forever! I will always carry you in my heart and your lovely spirit will linger in my workout classes for as long as I teach. Rest In Peace my sweet friend!
Annie was more than a friend to me, she was family. We shared many things, including our on going struggle with multiple myeloma. Annie was the strongest, most inspirational person I’ve ever known. Annie was my very first true friend when I arrived in Galveston, she took me into her confidence and made me feel like we’d known each other forever. There were so many mornings we laughed, cried and encouraged each other over coffee at Randall’s. Our mutual love of animals, fitness and coffee gave us many opportunities to make great memories. My heart & prayers go out to Hank and her family. I will miss Annie very much and I know in my heart I will see her again someday.
Hank, I,m so sorry for your loss. I feel blessed to have known Ann. Our prayers are with you and your family.
