For many years, Ann worked at USAA in San Antonio, TX. She was the first smiling face a person would see to greet them at the front desk of the entry way to the USAA Bank. It was a job she adored. Ann's favorite hobby was collecting recipes and baking, especially for her family & friends. She loved and was fascinated by all types of art. She also loved to watch football. She never missed an Alabama game. Ann always had a youthful and independent spirit. Above anything, she put her family first.
