Pursuits and Passions
Things important to Ann: God, her family, her community, music, and advising anyone on anything.
Ann was a faithful member of the Church of the Resurrection in Lansing since 2012. She attended Mass weekly and participated in Alpha Groups.

Ann and Brady made their public commitment to the group a few years later. Ann greatly enjoyed participating and hosting her WOC women's group and Lord's Day celebrations.
For over a decade, Ann also acted as Chapter President for the Lansing chapter of Couple to Couple League International. Her most notable CCL project was the orchestration of a diocesan-wide NFP Clergy Day which resulted in the nationwide distribution of the One More Soul recording through the organization.
