A major cheerleader for those fighting breast cancer in the Pennyrile region has passed away.
Ann Isom, who was heavily involved with Hopkinsville’s Pink Ribbon Network, passed away on Wednesday morning at the age of 70.
Isom was initially diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007 and again in June 2024.
Kathy Anderson and Lisa Cunningham founded the group in 2006, and Isom joined after being diagnosed. The group was founded to offer strength, support, love, encouragement, and hope for those dealing with that diagnosis.
Speaking during an event hosted last fall at the Hopkinsville YMCA, Isom shared she was passionate about helping others.
Beth Mann, President of the Edge Media Group, said that Isom had a servant’s heart and never wanted the credit or spotlight for helping others going through breast cancer. Mann added that she was honored to know her.
Isom served as the secretary for the Pink Ribbon Network.
