Ann enjoyed working by her husband's side with their businesses, Boylan's Ice Cream and Candy Manufacturing and later was the Vice-President of Boylan Beverage. She then worked as a deputy coroner for the McLean County Coroner's office.

She was a voracious reader and loved to play scrabble/word and aggravation. She never met a baby she didn't love. Ann was a wonderful and loving mother and will be greatly missed by her family and friends.
