Ann Elizabeth Fenderson was born to Howard and Dorette Erickson in Arden Hills, MN on March 27th, 1955. She was the second of three children and the only girl. She loved her time on the water with her father, growing up on Lake Johanna, learning to sail, waterski, and drive a speedboat. Ann was raised in a Christian home and attended Calvary Baptist Church in Roseville. She came to know her Savior early in her life and desired to live for Him. Growing up, she deeply enjoyed her time attending and counseling at Trout Lake Camp. Ann shared her faith and love of her Savior through her gift of music by voice and guitar. She had a clear and rich alto voice that blessed many people on many occasions. Ann married the love of her life, Allen, on March 3rd, 1978. They had two children, Kari and Scott.
