She married Richard Lee Mauger, the love of her life, in 1953, and they shared 66 years of marriage before his passing in 2019. Ann devoted many years to raising her family at home before later working at Wabash Magnetic, where she remained for several years until retiring.

As the first daughter in her family, Ann took on the responsibility of caring for her younger siblings from an early age. Her caring and dependable nature remained a defining part of who she was throughout her life.
