Ann married Ernest M. Ekeroth in Miami, FL in March 1952 before they promptly moved to California. They were married for 52 years before his death in August 2004.

Ann, Ernie and their 4 children moved several times in California, then moved to Laredo, TX, before retiring in Houston, TX.

She was a member of Christ the Good Shepherd Catholic Church, the Golden Slippers Entertainers along with her husband, and was a long time Girl Scout Leader.
