Mrs. Galyean was born January 14, 1948 in Seminole, TX to Jim and Bessie (O'Keeffe) Causey. She grew up in Denver City, TX where she graduated high school in 1966. She married the love of her life, Edwin Galyean, on September 8, 1968 in Denver City before moving to Snyder, TX in 1971. Ann was a long time member of the Snyder First Baptist Church and she worked for Western Texas College as a secretary and then as a registrar from 1980 until her retirement in 2018. She was also a proud 23 year breast cancer survivor. She loved sewing and made beautiful quilts and her love for the color purple was unmatched. Ann loved her husband, her family and, most of all, her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Her faith was always bigger than her fear.

She is survived by her loving husband of 54 years, Edwin.

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.” 2 Timothy 4:7-8
