Ann grew up in Beech Grove, Indiana, where she attended Holy Name Catholic School and Beech Grove High School.

Ann met and married the love of her life, Jim Smith on April 17, 1971, and started a family two years later. Ann became a homemaker and stay at home mom, as Jim’s career took their family to the cities of Tampa, FL (1983), Chattanooga, TN (1983-1993), Memphis, TN (1993-2017). Ann took great pride in maintaining a spotless home and providing home cooked meals every night with dessert. Ann enjoyed baking, especially at Christmas time with her daughter and grandchildren.
