You could usually find Ann’s name listed as the Secretary of any organization she was a part of. Ann grew up at Seymour Farm and married into Lantland Farm, spending her entire life farming; she cooked for everyone, worked in the barn and was the “gopher”. She had a deep love for cows and was active for many years in the dairy princess program, as well as the Holstein club at both the local and state level. She enjoyed her time spent at the Town of Veteran Historical Society. Ann was an excellent cook, and an avid crocheter and crafter, and a true treasure to all of her family and friends.
