Ann was an avid gardener and always eager to share her knowledge, as well as cuttings, clumps and seedlings. She loved antiquing, reading, playing cards and board games, solving crossword puzzles and going to the theatre. With her husband, she journeyed through Europe, Asia and the U.S. and with her sisters, friends and family, she travelled the U.S. Ann enjoyed playing tennis and swimming and in her youth enjoyed gymnastics at Sokol alongside her father and other family members. Ann had a big heart and always had the time to lend a sympathetic and friendly ear, and love to anyone in need.
