Ann graduated magna cum laude from Syracuse University in 1941. During her long career, she served as a dietitian at Crouse-Irving Hospital, a nutritionist at the Cystic Fibrosis Clinic and at the High Risk OB Clinic at Upstate University Hospital. Despite the demands of raising a large family, Ann managed to "squeeze" in the time to earn her master\'s degree. Anns greatest accomplishments, for which her family will always be grateful, were as loving and devoted wife to Fred, with whom she enjoyed a 75-year romance, and proud and nurturing mother, grandmother and great-grandmother to her family. A family service and burial are planned.
