BATH, Maine -- Ann Pennock (Knowles) Badham, 61, of Bath died Friday, Jan. 19, 2001, at Midcoast Hospital after a long illness.
Born in Philadelphia, she was the daughter of Elizabeth Sawyer of Westwood, Mass., and Prouts Neck, and the late Francis Ellis Knowles.

Mrs. Badham was an avid sailor all her life, and circumnavigated the globe in 1961-62, first on Irving Johnson's Yankee and later on the ketch Bettina.

They returned to America in 1978, settling on Merrymeeting Bayin Bath, where she was an active volunteer for various organizations, including the Lower Kennebec Regional Land Trust, Sagadahoc Preservation Inc., and the Patten Free Library where she regularly brought books to housebound residents.
