Ann was an avid reader and she enjoyed spending time with her grandsons. She was a charitable person, always trying to find toys and gifts for children in need as well as being an avid supporter of the Oshkosh Area Humane Society. Ann was a lover of nature, and always became very excited when her house was visited by her local hummingbirds. Ann loved spending her time with Gary, whether it was quiet nights in watching movies together or going to dinners at the Roxy together. Ann and Gary are members at Congregation B’nai Israel.
