She was born May 30, 1947 in Winchester, VA to her late parents, Stephen Merriner and Frances (Lineburg) Merriner. Ann was preceded in death by her sister, Margaret Ferraro.

She was a graduate of South Hagerstown High School and attended Hagerstown Junior College and Shepherd University, majoring in education and achieved a masters degree in education as well. Ann worked for Washington County Public Schools as a 2nd grade teacher at Pangborn Elementary for most of her 25 years of teaching. She also taught 2nd grade for several years at Funkstown Elementary and one year of kindergarten at Clear Spring Elementary. She joyfully worshiped her Lord with Christ Community Church, through the ministry of Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry, and was a faithful supporter of the Hagerstown Area Pregnancy Clinic. Anns greatest joy came from spending time with her beloved husband, precious sons and "daughters" in law, and being "Nanny/YaYa" to her grandchildren. She had a gentle, loving spirit and dedicated herself to praying faithfully for any and all requests.
