Ann graduated from St. John Academy in 1956 and began work at Link-Belt, where she worked until 1972.  She stayed home to rear her children until the mid-1980’s, at which time she began working at All Saints Catholic School, where she worked as a librarian and eventually as an office secretary/bookkeeper until her retirement.  Ann was also a part-time employee at Usher Funeral Home for many years, playing the organ for services and working in the office.
