She stayed home to care for her family before beginning her work as a toy manager in Kmart. Ann went on to work in childcare before retiring completely in 2011.

Ann enjoyed traveling and cruising, with some of her favorite spots being Barbados and Alaska. She also enjoyed Disney with her entire family and loved reading and spending summers on the beach. Ann also enjoyed church trips to Sight and Sound as well as her fellowship outings.

She joined Harmony Ministry in 2013 and was on the Women's Fellowship, where she was the Director for the Outreach Missions. She was on the nursing home missions and Caregivers of Old Timers Aresta Care. Ann was always willing to give a helping hand wherever she was needed.
