Ann Marie's zest for life was evident in her passion for traveling by car across the United States. She delighted in creating music playlists with Jim for their journeys, engaging in heartfelt conversations with local residents, and soaking in the diverse beauty of the country. Florida's warmth and Colorado's majestic landscapes held special places in her heart.
