Ann was born on August 28, 1932 in Sandpoint, Idaho the daughter of John and Magdalena Weisz. She attended Kootenai Grade School and graduated from Sandpoint High School.

Ann was an amazing seamstress, making clothes for her entire family and especially making baby clothes and quilts. She did amazing upholstery work on everything from furniture to boat covers.

Her passion was music and playing guitar. She loved signing with her family and friends. You never knew when she was going to cut loose with one of her favorite yodeling songs!
