Ann was a member of the Canisteo Presbyterian Church congregation for many years and sang in their choir. She was an avid reader and a member of the Wimodaughsian Free Library in Canisteo. She loved traveling, especially to NYC with her daughters and granddaughters to see Broadway shows. Ann never missed her grandchildren's swim meets and ball games.
