She moved to Philadelphia with her husband and worked as a secretary at Nanette Manufacturing, then later to Feasterville where they began their family and helped to plant Good Samaritan Mennonite Church. The family bought "a home in the country" and settled into community life in Coopersburg and became active members at East Swamp Church, Quakertown. Ann, as she was known by most, was a friendly, quiet, hard-working wife and mother, encouraging grandmother, excellent cook and green-thumb gardener. She loved to travel with her husband and in every site they visited she enjoyed the botanical gardens. She taught children's Sunday School, worked at Auckland's Road Stand Garden Center, was active in the Southern Lehigh Countryside Garden Club, Crisis Pregnancy Care, and served in the Sunshine Club hospitality and visitation ministry at East Swamp Church. Her smile will be missed by many.
