In addition to the dairy cows and pigs they raised on their farm, she and Everett started a business which supplied eggs to many institutions, grocery stores, and individuals in the community. Ann became known as The Egg Lady to many who knew her. After raising her children, she worked for the Iowa State University Extension Service as a nutrition educator and truly enjoyed helping so many people. Ann loved her many years of life keeping active and leading several community organizations, which included Bluebirds, Campfire, 4-H, Farm Bureau, Ophilian Club, Cass Homemakers, and the Republican Party.
