An Asheville native and lifelong resident, she was the daughter of the late Ruth Chedester Parker and Charles David Parker. Ann graduated from St. Genevieve of the Pines in 1948. In 1949, she was queen of Asheville's Rhododendron Ball. She was a member of Agnes Scott College's graduating class of 1952. At both St. Genevieve and Agnes Scott, she made lifelong friends. Devoted to both institutions throughout her life, she enthusiastically joined in alumni events. Ann taught biology at Sylvan Hills High School in Atlanta before marrying Charles G.

She was active in the Junior League, church circles at Central United Methodist Church, and the Asheville chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, for which she served as registrar. She was a shrewd bridge player well into her seventies.

Lee of Decatur, GA, Celeste Lee Hubbard (Dean) of Seneca, SC, Kathryn Lee Springer (Erik) of Denver, CO, and 13 grandchildren. Ann is also survived by a brother, Charles D. Parker Jr., of Asheville.
