Ann graduated from Lincoln High School, where she was a majorette in McLure's Band and played the saxophone, enjoying many trips with the band. She earned her Diploma in Nursing from the Elliot Hospital School of Nursing in 1958 and was honored with the Caritas Christie medal from her alma mater for her dedication to nursing.
