She retired to raise her family. She volunteered as a room mother in her daughters’ classrooms. Ann was a member of the American Legion Auxiliary Post 439. Ann enjoyed baking (and, boy, could she bake). Her Christmas cookies and famous pie crust were family favorites. She was blessed to have traveled throughout the United States with Junior, her children and other family members. She mostly loved spending time with her family. Ann never passed up an opportunity to babysit her dear grand babies. She was a gentle and loving soul.
