 "Ann" was a resident of Deming for over 30 years and loved her little town from the start. Ann was born and raised in Indonesia where she also married her husband, Karl. They lived in Australia for 5 years with their little family of three and then moved to the much-too-cold Netherlands where they stayed for 2 years with their family of four. In 1958, they arrived in the United States, first landing in New York and lived many places around the country.

 Ann loved nature, birds, flowers, rivers, mountains, and streams, which she saw plenty of while traveling and camping across North America with her beloved husband Karl. Some of her favorite places were Yellowstone, Zion, & Grand Canyon National Parks, Villa Corona in Jalisco, MX, and anywhere her favorite tree, the Douglas fir grew.
