After graduating from Highland Springs High School in 1971, she went on to work for the Virginia Department of Transportation where she served as a Program Administrative Specialist for 46 years. Ann shared a passion for many things and had a personality that was contagious to everyone she met. She loved bowling, traveling, watching sports, cooking, listening to music, dancing reading, crocheting and playing bingo.
