She enjoyed bowling and was an avid golfer, earning the title of Cambridge Country Club Champion for golf in 1980.
Ann loved her family, loved her friends, and her zest for living brought that special sparkle to every event.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Edgile F. Korte; her brothers, Carl, Joe, and Mike; and two sisters, Mary Ruggiero and Margaret Richcreek affectionately known as the "Golden Girls".
