Ann opened a daycare center in her home that ran for many years. She always had a special place in her heart for her daycare kids and all her friend’s and neighbor’s children. Ann had a special way of talking with someone and making them feel like they were the most important person in the whole world. -“There’s nothing like an Ann Marsh hug”. Ann also enjoyed her Barden Brook lunches and her Red Hat’s Group monthly.
