She was preceded in death by her husband and all of her siblings. Ann started teaching in public schools while still a college student. She taught in Portsmouth and Danville Public Schools for 28 years. She walked daily and swam regularly at the YMCA for 45 years. She started new Sunday School classes at many churches where her husband served. She was the author of 8 books and was planning a new book. She oil painted throughout her adult life. As an adult, she learned to play the piano and organ. She went on many mission trips in different countries. She traveled to every state in the nation and to 6 of the 7 continents.
