Ann was a native of the south side from the Roseland area. She attended St. Salomea grammar school and graduated from St. Louis Academy in 1948. She then worked full time for Old Republic Insurance, eventually attaining the position of personal secretary to the CEO. After her first child was born in 1965, she devoted full time to homemaking and raising her children. She was most happy when planning and cooking for family gatherings and other family activities.
