During that time, she received a Masters in Theology from St. Bernard’s School of Theology and Ministry. For the last nine years, Ann worked alongside her husband as an administrative assistant at his CPA firm.
Ann was also a dedicated wife, mother, and homemaker, taking pride in caring for her family. She enjoyed reading, sewing, crafting, and hosting family parties. She had a wonderful sense of humor and loved making people laugh. After raising her three children, she cherished her role as ‘Grammie’ to her grandchildren.
