By the 1990s Ann worked in Edmond in two daycare programs: Miss Nancy’s Child Care and Kids on Broadway. She then served as a teacher’s aide in the Edmond Public School System until her retirement. Not only a great cook, Ann was also a creative seamstress who donated many beautiful baby quilts to hospital delivery wards and gave lovely quilts as gifts to her many friends and family. Ann moved back to Choctaw in 2022.
