She and her brother John lost their mother, Marya as very young children. They lived in a duplex with their father above their mother's sister, Anna in Detroit on Chopin.
Anna came to America as a young mail-order bride around 1908. Anna's sister Marya Onyszko Sawula came to join her in America in 1912 with husband Mikolaj. They shared the Kordosh house for a time. It was Anna who took in Marya's children when Marya died suddenly, leaving son John at 3 years old and daughter Mary Anna at 7. They called her "Chutka", Ukranian for Auntie. Her no-nonsense manner ran the Kordosh house. Stories of the cleaning of the "entire" house were told, even the third floor attic. And there was always a pot of soup on the stove.
Ann was very artistic and was constantly doing crafts. She was creative and always making paintings and art objects. She made stuffed toys for her grandchildren, and liked to read to them.
In early 1976 she was diagnosed with carcinoma of the breast.
