In her spare time, Ann enjoyed reading, particularly mystery novels, including books by Jodi Picoult and Lisa Scottoline and Nancy Drew as a child. She especially loved visiting the library.

Her family was the center of her world. She deeply loved and admired her mother, Anna, her husband, her children, her brother, and her Aunt Mary, who was like a second mother to her.
