Ann was a registered nurse, a loving wife of 67 years, mother of 14, grandmother of 29 and great-grandmother of 15. She was an avid letter writer and greeting card sender to all she knew. She cared for everyone who walked through her door and no one left empty handed. She loved her children, her flower beds, and watching birds at her feeder.

She volunteered her time at the Corner Cupboard Charities of Greater Dayton Thrift Store for over 35 years.
