Annigje emigrated in October 1903, five months aged, with her parents and siblings from the dairy farmers village Sonnega, mun. Weststellingwerf, in the southern part of the province Friesland in the north of the Netherlands, to Bonne Homme and Douglas Counties in the southeastern region of South Dakota. She lived in Springfield, Bon Homme County, until 1916 when the family moved to the app. 40 miles northwest lying Dutch agrarian settlement Harrison in Douglas County. 17 February 1927 she married there to Teunis Bos (Tony) Vanden Hoek, who has Dutch ancestry too. They had one child, son Will. After their marriage they moved to a farm of his father William Vanden Hoek, east of Corsica, in Douglas County too.
During the 1930s the Plains States had severe drought conditions, grasshopper invasions and the resulting crop failures. In the winter of 1940 Tony left their farm and moved with his wife Annie and their only child Will to Los Angeles, California. Tony worked there for Utility Trailer Company, building semi-trailers, until he retired.
Ann was a housewife and loved cooking and baking all time. During WW II years when sugar was rationed, her husband and son gave up all use of sugar so she could make pies and cookies as their monthly sugar ration would allow.
In December 1955 they moved to Lakewood, Los Angeles County.
Ann passed away at Long Beach Hospital after a very short illness, due to a fast growing brain tumor after submitting a surgery.
Her widower Tony Vanden Hoek remarried in 1957 to Cornelia Streur, widow of Jan Nijdam aka John Nydam.
