She began her teaching career in Texas, then Wallingford, CT. She loved her sixth graders and brought her vibrant view of life and of the world to her charges. Never did her classroom or home lack for animals!Ann was active at First Church in Guilford, and was elected there the first female Deacon. She served on boards and service organizations in her beloved Catskill summer community, Twilight Park in NY.
