At an early age at her grandmother's church in Nashville, Mich., Ann made her testimony to God and asked him to forgive her of her sins, and asked Jesus to be her savior. She was a member of the Hartford Federated Church (now the Hartford Bible Church). Ann loved going to church when possible and singing in the church choir, however, spending time with her family was her most precious times.
