She was quickly immersed in school activities/sports for the kids, was an active member of the Casper Symphony Guild, a devout member of St. Mark's Episcopal Church, and learned to play golf at the Casper Country Club. Ann was a voracious reader and expressed her vast artistic abilities by painting in oils & acrylics, creating stained glass windows, ceramics, and many cross-stich projects. She also worked for Natrona County School District for over 15 years.
Don & Ann relocated to Centennial, CO in 1993. With the passing of Don in 1998, she stayed in Denver living with daughter Amy and grandson Nick. In 2015, Ann moved to Cheyenne and enjoyed five years at Sierra Hills Assisted Living and our Wyoming fresh air (wind).
