Ann grew up in New Orleans, La and attended and graduated from Sacred Heart Academy. Ann enjoyed spending time in her youth with relatives in Pearlington, Mississippi and had a passion for life from a young age.

Ann married Jim Ensley in 1997 and was happily married for the entirety of her life. She enjoyed her family and friends and was a devout member of St. Peter Catholic Church where she was a eucharistic minister.
Ann could be described as fiercely loyal to those close to her and her family. She will be sadly missed, and many will keep cherished memories of their time together. Ann brought joy and laughter to everyone she met and was always thought of as a most compassionate person willing to go out of her way to help anyone in need.
