Graduated Baptist Bible Seminary in Johnson City in 1960 with a 2 years degree in Childrens Ministry.

Ann worked for an insurance Co in Johnson City, NY

She was a gifted homemaker and also served as a church secretary and music teacher for the school. She was a Pastors wife and daycare provider. She taught JOY CLUB and AWANA for many years as well as junior church and Sunday school. 

After moving to Lake Wales FL she found her new home church to be Christ's Church On The Move. She enjoyed every service and when she physically could not attend she insisted on watching it online. 

Her greatest passion was her love for her Savior, Jesus Christ, for it is Jesus that forgave her of her sins and now has given her an eternal home in heaven. She read her Bible, prayed daily, and loved her family, home, and church. After her stroke in 2019, she enjoyed putting together puzzles and visiting with her dear friends.

She delighted in the time she got to spend with her family, and the memories that were made will be cherished by them forever.

It could be said that her hobby was people. She was a faithful wife and diligent mother and devoted grandmother. Through the years, family and friends loved to come to her home, attracted by her warm spirit. Those with a need knew they could count on her to pray for them. She had that beauty which is only achieved when the love of God flows through a person.

Memorial service will be held at Dryden Baptist Church, 138 Virgil Rd. Dryden, NY 13053 on Saturday, August 2nd at 10:30 AM.
