Ann Durbin, 87, the mother of Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), died Wednesday in Suburban Hospital, Bethesda, Md.
A resident of Kensington, Md., she was a railroad clerk for most of her working life. She was employed by the New York Central and later Penn Central railroads.

Also surviving are sons William and Robert, 15 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren.
