After his death in 1959, she returned to Kansas City with her three daughters. She was very active in their lives serving on the PTA and as a Girl Scout leader. She worked until she was 80 years old, her last years were with Culinary Concepts at Crown Center where she received several awards for her customer service. Ann loved playing bingo, bunko, 31, and the slot machines. She always watched 'The Price is Right'  and her beloved Royals. She was a member of St. Therese Parish and was a true prayer warrior spending much of her time in daily prayer. Ann made everyone she came in contact with feel special.
