Growing up Ann always wanted to become a teacher. She fulfilled her dream teaching business classes at Chapmanville High School. Always active in sponsoring classes, clubs and working in job placement, she was truly loved as an educator. Ann was a positive role model and mentor to many of her students. She was an active member of the teacher's sorority, Delta Kappa Gamma and the NEA.
Ann was very involved with her church the First Presbyterian of Logan. She was always the first to volunteer to help organize any activity the church was hosting. Being a very spiritual person Ann loved her church family. She enjoyed attending sporting events, especially those that involved her children and grandchildren. Ann was a huge basketball fan showing her support for numerous area teams, especially the Logan Wildcats! She occupied the same seat at the field house for close to 50 years during basketball season.
Ann was one of a kind; she filled her family and those around her with love and laughter. She always had a smile on her face and a kind word to speak; she never failed to put others ahead of herself. She will be remembered and missed by everyone who ever met her.
