In her spare time, she enjoyed playing Bingo and Bunco with many friends on a weekly basis, did lots of canning, made ceramics and porcelain dolls, made many beautiful quilts and beginning in 1988, she produced over 300 cross stitches to give to family and friends. She enjoyed receiving and sending greeting cards, Kentucky Wesleyan sports, U.K. Basketball, Green Bay Packers Football and St. Louis Cardinals Baseball. Ann also treasured the outdoors. She loved flowers, decorating her yard, and spent a good deal of time on her porch feeding the birds and cats. Ann traveled extensively, including Rome, Italy, Hawaii, New York, Florida and most of the states. Many of those trips included family. She also appreciated music, especially country rock, gospel and Elvis Presley. In her recent time at the Hermitage, she was honored to be inducted into the Hermitage Hall of Fame.
