She was born to the late Henry and Lina Kneese, May 24, 1934, in Fredericksburg, Texas. Ann graduated Valedictorian from Fredericksburg High School in 1951 and attended Texas State University in San Marcos. She married Glenn Roland Bergsten in 1953. They spent twenty years traveling around the United States and Europe while Glenn served in the Air Force. Upon his retirement, they settled in Austin in 1967, and enjoyed an active life in and around the Hill Country of Texas. In 1994 they moved to Sun City.
Ann worked as a manager for the IRS until her retirement. She enjoyed the varied challenges of the job, but her favorite aspect of being a manager was working with others. Ann was a member of The Worship Place in Sun City where she enjoyed volunteering her time. She loved to travel and spent many hours as navigator while she and Glenn (known to all as Ron) traveled in their RV. She and her husband also took more than 10 cruises during their 62 years together. Ann enjoyed socializing and playing Mahjong with her friends.
Ann is survived by her husband; Glenn, her daughter; Linda Purvis and her husband, Larry, of Buda, Texas. She is also survived by two granddaughters; Alicia Dees and Lauren Marion; and five great grandchildren; Rayleigh, Karah, Kylah, Tyler and Aiden.
