Ann was born in Cameron, NC on February 1, 1932, to Daniel and Annie Boggs McDonald.  Ann had a twin brother, Dan McDonald and when she was 4 years her father passed away, leaving her mother to raise them during the depression, by herself, working in the school cafeteria.  She worked for local neighbors priming tobacco and harvesting crops.  Ann was proud of her hometown of Cameron, which was the "dewberry capitol of the world". She graduated from Cameron High School as class Valedictorian.  She raised her first son, Steve by herself for the first year, while her husband served in the Korean War.  Ann opened her home to many relatives over the years as a place to live during tough times and illness.  She worked for over 40 years at Wesley Long Hospital, beginning as a Switch Board Operator and retired as a Business Office Manager. She enjoyed growing flowers, ceramics, making cards and especially "coloring", where she always "stayed in the lines".
