She married Neven Matthews in 1970 and they had 6 daughters. Their oldest daughter Clare died in 1976. Ann-Marie is survived by her 5 daughters Catherine, Jessica, Marian, Valerie, and Melanie; sons-in-law David Damico, Thomas Meth, and Doug Moore; and her beloved grandchildren Samantha, Luca, Alexandra, and Sophia.

In 1987 the Matthews family came to America, and Ann-Marie became a US citizen in 2000. Her interests and passions were her family, her community, and yoga. She was always interested in helping others, and she was involved in many organizations and activities. These included the United Way in Waynesboro and the Waynesboro Rotary Club, where she served as president and worked on educational and poverty relief; service projects in the U.S. and South Africa; teaching yoga in The Villages in Florida; studying "Yoga for Cancer Survivors" at Yogaville, VA; and providing home communion in Sumter County, FL. In each of these communities she quickly made friends through her real and honest interactions, her desire to help others, and her infectious laugh.

A memorial service was held at St. John's Episcopal Church, 473 S. Wayne Avenue in Waynesboro. Other services were held later in Florida and South Africa.
