Ann grew up in Ruston, LA but lived in Baton Rouge, LA for much of her adult life. She had a Bachelor's degree in English and a Ph.D in Psychology. She practiced as a clinical neuropsychologist for over 20 years, specializing in diagnosis and treatment of children with ADHD. She was politically active as a Democrat in local, state and national elections, and was a voracious consumer of news and books of all kinds. Up until her death, she read two to three books a week, with a special affinity for English literature, science and politics. She also loved dinosaurs, chickens and good southern cooking. Most of all, Ann was completely devoted to her children, and was a beautiful, generous mother. She was absolutely hilarious, witty and warm, and left a lasting impression on all who encountered her.
