Ann was born Ophelia Ann Morrow to parents Lucille Graham Morrow and James Patton Morrow on October 31, 1939 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. She graduated from Greene County High School where she proudly represented the Panthers as head majorette. She received her Associate in Science degree from Livingston University.
