Ann was born May 13, 1928, in Garryowen, Iowa, the daughter of Earl McLees and Anastasia Henneberry McLees. She was raised in Monticello by her aunt, Pearl McLees. Ann married Carl Webber on June 1, 1948, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church. Ann and Carl lived in Monticello until 1973, when they purchased property west of town, where they farmed and lived the remainder of their lives.

Ann was a lifelong member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church and volunteered for the church and school in many ways, serving on ladies committees, working many fish fry fundraisers, and leading a men's choir group. Music was always an important part of Ann's life. She enjoyed playing and teaching the piano and organ. Sacred Heart Church was graced with Ann's music for half a century.

She was a loving and generous mother and wife and enjoyed her many friends.
