Ann was baptized into Christ in 1964 and was a lifelong faithful member of West Nashville Heights church of Christ (now Charlotte Heights). She was all about her family, always putting her family’s needs and wants above her own. As her husband, Steve, often said, “she liked to keep the roads hot". She enjoyed going shopping, going to craft fairs, and fishing, especially at Piney Point on Watts Bar Lake. She never missed a ballgame, recital, or band competition if her kids or grand kids were involved. She also enjoyed taking family cruises. Professionally, Ann was a teller for 28 years at Southeast Financial Credit Union.

Her presence will be deeply missed, especially by those who loved her most.
