Ann graduated from Delta High School in 1953 and married Joe and moved into their home, which Joe built, on Crawford Ave. and raised all their children in the intimacy of this home. Ann was an amazing cook, seamstress, gardener, and best of all a mother. Ann became known for her Dinner Rolls, which often, at fundraisers, would sell for outrageous prices when bidding ended.

Ann and her mother, Alta, were among the earliest members of Rivers Church in Delta, Colorado, faithfully attending since their move to Delta in the late 1930s. Throughout her life, Ann was deeply involved in the Women’s Ministry, generously offering meals, clothing, and compassionate care to families in need. She lived with quiet grace, finding joy in serving others. In later years, Ann and her husband, Joe, were the last surviving members of their respective families.
