She was born January 25, 1933 in Quincy, MI to Coral R. and T. Ethelena (Cerrow) Stetler. Ann graduated from Quincy High School in 1951. On November 10, 1951 she married William C.

They enjoyed traveling to Florida during the winters together and were both members of the Girard United Methodist Church as well as the Country Couples. Ann liked to sew, cook, quilt, work on puzzles, and watch and feed the birds; she held a special place in her heart for small animals especially cats. Ann devoted her time as a 4-H leader for many years but what she truly loved above all was spending time with her family.
