She found comfort and joy in her church family and in the fellowship that came from sharing her beliefs with others. Her life reflected the values of compassion, humility, and perseverance.

Ann had many interests that brought her happiness over the years. She loved music and was a talented soprano singer whose voice was a gift to those who heard it.
