[[Tigger]], better known to many by the pseudonym '''Ann Veronica Simon''' stated on her birth-certificate, was [[Woozle]]'s close friend and confidant from {{lc|1981}} until her death, and much-beloved godmother to [[Anna Nikola]]. As one of [[Jenny]]'s close friends in the [[CFS]] middle school circa {{lc|1979}}, she was a founding member of the "Goresum Foursum" (along with Cindy S. and Erika J.) | |||
Woozle gave her the name "Tigger" – in commemoration of her eternally energetic and bouncy nature – while they were both at Brown, which she attended as an undergraduate from {{lc|1985}}-{{lc|1989}} and where she became a member of the Delta Psi chapter at [[King House]]. | |||
She had almost completed graduate school at the University of California at Berkeley at the time of her death; she was granted her degree posthumously. The Ann Veronica Simon Outstanding Dissertation Award ([https://www.lsu.edu/hss/wgs/about_us/wgsawards.php see]) was established at the LSU Women's & Gender Studies department in her honor not long after.

Tigger and Anna, circa 1998
Tigger, better known to many by the pseudonym Ann Veronica Simon stated on her birth-certificate, was Woozle's close friend and confidant from 1981 until her death, and much-beloved godmother to Anna Nikola. As one of Jenny's close friends in the CFS middle school circa 1979, she was a founding member of the "Goresum Foursum" (along with Cindy S. and Erika J.)
Woozle gave her the name "Tigger" – in commemoration of her eternally energetic and bouncy nature – while they were both at Brown, which she attended as an undergraduate from 1985-1989 and where she became a member of the Delta Psi chapter at King House.
She had almost completed graduate school at the University of California at Berkeley at the time of her death; she was granted her degree posthumously. The Ann Veronica Simon Outstanding Dissertation Award (see) was established at the LSU Women's & Gender Studies department in her honor not long after. (See 2006 Ann Simon fundraising letter for details)
