Ann was born in Oklahoma, to the late Donald and Peggy Harrison. During her time in Salinas, California, she met the love of her life, Richard “Dick” Earl, they soon married and had children. In 1983, Dick, accepted a position with the Blue Bird Bus Corporation as a project design engineer, and the family relocated to the Middle Georgia area. Ann worked as a secretary for the Blue Bird & Wanderlodge Corporation, and, also, for Jake Goddard’s State Farm office. In her quiet time, she loved reading her devotionals, listening to Gospel music, and watching her favorite Hallmark movies. She was the delight of the nursing home and everyone loved her. Spending time with her family was where she found the most joy. Ann was a member of the First Baptist Church Perry. Along with her parents, she was preceded in death by her loving and devoted husband of sixty-one years, Richard Leland Earl; her daughter, Donna Ruhl and her sister, Jan McWilliams.
Left to cherish the memories they made with Ann are her children; Carol (Jim) Sikes, Michael (Faith Bahtya) Earl; her six precious grand-children; her sister, Joan (Jerry) Smith; along with several nieces and nephews.
