Ann taught rural schools for three years, then attended York College in the summer of 1930 and also studied by extension from the University of Nebraska earning enough credits to renew her teaching certificate. The next two years she taught music and art at the Teacher’s Institutes of Fillmore, York, Clay and Saline counties and also substitute taught in the Geneva Public Schools On March 7, 1930, Ann was married to Leslie McPeck of Geneva. To this union were born two daughters; Virginia Ann in 1934 and Shirley Lou in 1935. Ann always loved music as a child and loved to hear her older sisters sing and play the piano. Her summers were filled with piano lessons. When in high school she accompanied vocal groups. While living in Geneva she was a member of the Congregational Church where she taught Sunday School class, directed Youth Choir and was a church organist. In 1945 she started teaching private piano and continued until moving to York in 1975 after her husband’s death. During those years she taught over 200 boys and girls to play the piano. Ann’s biggest delight was her family. She took pride in her daughters’ accomplishments and loved it when the children and grandchildren would come home for birthdays and holidays. She was past president of DOES, a member of York Country Club, the Hospital Auxiliary, York Book Club, past president of York Garden Club, Chapter HH P.E.O., and several bridge groups. She liked to cook, sew, knit and work in her flower garden. Ann still enjoyed playing piano for her own pleasure and for the residents of York Meadow Lark and Hearthstone.
