She immigrated to American with her family in 1957, settled in Bellflower, CA and received her education in the Valley Christian School system.

Ann fully expected the best in people, and if they disappointed, she would simply and lovingly accept that. She and Sybrand raised their 3 sons to be God-loving, Christ-serving, independent, strong leaders and husbands – in other words, “Good Men”. Her daughters-in law loved and respected her, and she in turn respected and supported them. Ann succumbed to cancer after a valiant 37 month battle.
