She enjoyed spending time at the senior center and most of all she loved her family, friends and animals. She was also known as a great story teller and an all around funny person. Due to her escape from Slave/Labor Camp/Holocost, she was afraid to practice her Jewish faith, but always kept her faith and beliefs close in her heart. She loved life. She was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and attended church nearly every Sunday. Ann was also a member of the VFW.
