Ann was born in Almaville, Tennessee to the late John and Grace Maxwell Wood. She was preceded in death by her husband of 71 years, Gene Fenn Porter, who passed away in 2025 and by her siblings, Randall Wood and twin sister, Anna Vance.
Ann is survived by her son, Steve Wood Porter and his wife Sandra; daughter, Rhonda Porter Tosh; grandchildren, Clay Porter, Haley Tosh-Bender and her husband Stanley and Carlin Tosh; and six great grandchildren.
