After moving to Plymouth she took a job with the City of Plymouth Water Works and later, a position for many years as executive secretary with the McCord Corporation and retired in 1989. Ann carried a strong work ethic throughout her life, often helping in the plant during ‘strike’ periods to keep orders going out the door. She ran her home in the very same meticulous fashion but always with a pleasant smile and inviting demeanor to all she came in contact with.
Ann remained active in her retirement years maintaining her home and gardens’, taking long walks, lunches with her close group of friends and worship at her church the Immanuel Lutheran in Donaldson. She enjoyed traveling that included Hawaii, Germany, Central America and Arizona. A loyal Cub fan and that of Plymouth basketball and football, she rarely missed a home game.
