She is also survived by many loving nieces and nephews who knew her as "Auntie Ann". Ann was preceded in death by her sister, Pat Berry, and her parents, Vinnie and Otto Newhouse.
Ann and Jim were married Christmas Day, 1971, by Toledo Mayor Harry Kessler, which is why her family frequently forgot to send Anniversary cards.
Ann was very involved with her grandchildren, from volunteering in their elementary school to watching all of their sporting events. She volunteered for Relay for Life for many years and was very involved with fighting cancer, as it affected so many of her family members. Ann loved fishing with her husband, playing cards, slot machines, and making big dinners for her family.
