With friends, she enjoyed excursions to many locations in the United States, Europe and the Far East. Her year-long stay in Scotland imbued in her a lifelong love of Scottish culture. "Auntie Ann," as she was known to friends and family alike, was devoted to her sister Julie and her nieces and nephews and their families. She gave unstintingly of her time, support and love. She especially enjoyed summers with her family at Grand Beach, trips to Grand Forks and celebrating birthdays and holidays together.
