Ann was born to Forest and Harriet Yeakey in Grand Rapids in 1930. She graduated from Jackson High School in 1948 and from Stephens College, MO, in 1950.  She worked at Jacobson's, a retail store, for many years; moved to Hawaii in 1976; and retired as the office manager of Kahana Reef, a condominium complex in Maui, in 1987. She returned to Jackson in 2009. Ann loved the Lord, her family, animals and had a knack for art, often giving cards and homemade gifts to friends and loved ones. She was known for her impeccable style, gracious smile, love of the Gaither Vocal Band, and fondness for ice cream and chocolate sauce.  A Bible verse special to her later in life was John 14:2.
