When she was 11 years old she moved with her family from Arkansas to Oregon where her father had found work in the timber industry.

Until recent years,  she and her husband often shared their faith with others riding motorcycles together out on the road with the Christian Motorcycles Association. They always welcomed others into their home, and enjoyed visiting with friends over coffee at local cafe's. Anna Loved her family, and attending family reunions. She was well known for her Fried Chicken, and home made Potato Salad. Most of all Ann was known for her love, faith, and kind heart towards all she met.
