Ann and Frank enjoyed a wonderful marriage, blessed by the Lord. Their years together were filled with love and fun adventures. They traveled extensively and enjoyed many fun hobbies together, such as: snow skiing, golf, Clemson football, auto racing, motorcycles, tennis, sailing, and RVing throughout the United States. She worked alongside Frank in their family business, Whaley Foodservice, for many years.

Ann served and loved her whole family so well! Her husband and children cherished her, and her grandchildren adored their "Nana" and treasure many precious memories with her. Ann's greatest love was her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. She enjoyed studying God's Word and participating in Bible studies. She enjoyed serving in many ways at her church, First Baptist of Lexington. Ann displayed a great love for people and was quick to help those in need. Two ministries that were dearest to her were Focus on the Family and Samaritan's Purse.
