Ann attended Holladay Elementary, Irving Jr. High, Granite High and the University of Utah where she obtained a B.S. in Home Economics Education.

Ann served with her husband Fred for 1-1/2 years as the office couple in Czechoslovakia with President and sister Winder when the mission was opened again after 50 years. She found great joy serving her family and those around her. All of the 20 grandchildren have been the recipients of wonderful hand-made quilts, dresses for the girls and baby kits for the great grandchildren. Ann loved to cook and be surrounded by beautiful flowers and to grow vegetables and berries for her family and neighbors.
