Ann was a proud 1966 graduate of Wirt County High School. Throughout her working years, she was employed by Ames in Parkersburg, Norris Industries in Spencer, and retired from Nashaw Photo in Parkersburg.
A woman of strong faith, Ann attended both Owl Hill Church and Pine Twist. She found great joy in the outdoors and loved spending her time mowing grass, weed eating, riding four-wheelers, and horseback riding. Her hardworking spirit, love of nature, and devotion to her family will be remembered by all who knew her.
Per Ann’s wishes, she was cremated, and no services will be held at this time.
