Ann devoted many years to a career in credit management, serving several companies with dedication and integrity. Outside of her profession, she enjoyed traveling, reading, decorating, cooking, and entertaining

A member of Pine Grove Methodist Church, Ann maintained a close relationship with her Savior throughout her life.

She is survived by a nephew and niece, Shawn and Holly Mercer; two great-nieces; and many cousins and special friends.
