Ann retired from the Department of Public Aid after 29 years as a quality control reviewer. She was a lifelong friend to animals, adopting a parade of cats and dogs, though she tried to never impose more than three pets at a time on Carl. She was especially fond of poodles, and Max, Paris, Bleu, and Ladd were each beloved companions. An outdoor enthusiast, Ann enjoyed nature walks with her Silky Terrier Buddy, bird watching, and birding by ear. She was an active Weldon Springs Foundation member and traveled extensively with the Lincoln Land Airstream Club. Ann's domestic hobbies included gardening and collecting depression glass such as Blue Bubble. She made many friends in her YMCA exercise group and was a hapless but loyal euchre partner. Ann was a cherished wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend who will be sorely missed.
