On November 9, 1953 Ann married Jim Stark. Three children were born to this marriage, Linda, Jim Jr., and Cindy. The marriage ended in divorce in 1975.

Ann worked for Phillips Petroleum Company at both the INL site and in town. She also worked for Farmers Home Administration. Her retirement in 1988 followed 23 years of employment with Production Credit Association in Idaho Falls.
Ann had enchanting dimples that made you want to make her smile. Whenever she was going out to eat with family or friends, Ann was always ready with a coupon to lessen the cost. She enjoyed reading, crossword puzzles, needlework, shopping and spending time with friends and family.
