Ann enjoyed crocheting, bowling, ceramics, gardening, planting flowers and arrangements in the spring,  playing cards, telling stories of her dogs, watching her soap operas, documentaries on elephants, seeing deer, rabbit, and fox come through the yard, birds (yellow finches were a favorite) and woodpeckers coming to feed near the window, having holiday visitors sign her Christmas tablecloth, cooking for family and friends, spending time with her grandchildren, great grandchildren, friends from the old neighborhood and her New Richmond family. Very proud of her son Tony, grandsons Luciano and Dominic for their military service. Ann was known to enjoy an occasional rum and coke.
