Ann worked as a bookkeeper for McMahans Furniture Store, sold real estate, but her most enjoyable job was that of a fashion illustrator for Brocks Department Store, where she was able to pursue her immense artistic talent, which in later years, allowed her to illustrate the Rankin Family Cookbook and was
working on the drawings for the Rankin Family History which is to be published soon. She was, also, an accomplished portrait artist and doll maker. Ann truly enjoyed her independence, as was seen in her passion for gardening and the variety of yard animals that flocked to her home.
