In the 1980's Ann and her husband owned and operated Larry Perry Sales, a restaurant equipment company in Springfield for 20+years, where she managed the books. In later years, Ann enjoyed working in her daughter's retail store, Pilgrim Candle, Westfield, In 1983, Ann and Bud moved to be close to family in Westfield.
Then in 2003, they retired to The Villages, FL, where they enjoyed many happy years living close to their sons, brothers, sisters and grandchildren. As a result of her cognitive health, Ann moved back north in 2020 to live with her daughter and her family in Westfield.

As a lifetime crafter, she and our Dad participated in local craft shows and made wood toys for needy children at Christmas. Mom also crocheted lap blankets for patients in the nursing homes.
