Ann was born September 18, 1927 in Shenandoah, IA to Foster and Grace (Patton) Rutledge. She moved to Des Moines at the age of three. There, she grew up and graduated from Roosevelt High School in 1945. Ann attended the University of Iowa where she was an active member of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority and swam in SEALS. While in school, she met E.M. “Bud” Flood and they were married the summer after graduation in 1949. She was widowed after 22 years of marriage and later married Robert Shuler.
She was a first grade teacher, homemaker for 20 years and her second career was in real estate. Ann was a member of the Junior League of Des Moines, Botanical Center Herb Group, YMCA, lifelong member of the Christian Scientist Church and an advocate for children’s literacy. She enjoyed sewing, knitting, embroidery handwork, crafting, gardening and cooking. However, nothing gave her more enjoyment than spending time with her family.
Ann is survived by her four children, Susan (Mick) Walker of Iowa City, Scott (Susie) Flood of Cumming, Steve (Ann) Flood of Des Moines and Sara (Tim) Sullivan of Clive; fifteen grandchildren, Sara (Rob), Doak, Bryan, Aryn (Jared), Kurt, Ty, Reed, Emily, Betsy, Katie, Molly, Annie, Emily, Grace and Kate; and one great-grandchild, Hannah. She was preceded in death by her two husbands, E.M. “Bud” Flood, Jr. and Robert Shuler; granddaughter, Margo Gerleman; and two brothers, Albert and Maurice Rutledge.
Memorial contributions may be directed to Kappa Alpha Theta sorority at the University of Iowa where a scholarship fund will be established for education majors.
