Ann was born at Nundah in Brisbane on December  2nd,  1943,  the second of three children of Bert and Theresa Humphrey  and a sister for Pat and Syd. 
She grew up and went to school in Brisbane and then started work at the telephone exchange. 

It was here at the PMG that she met Syd Dillon who was to become her lifetime partner.  They married in St Stephen’s Cathedral -  within view of their workplace across the road - on June 4,  1960,  six months short of Ann’s 17th birthday. 
The newlyweds settled in Windsor before being transferred to Warwick in 1961, where they were to spend the next nine years. 
Their two sons - Robert and Glenn - were both born in Warwick.

Syd was then transferred to Rockhampton where they lived from 1970-1977.  Ann resumed work and returned to the telephone exchange, now known as Telecom.

They were transferred to Nambour in 1977 and Ann took a position at Skinners Mazda where she was to work for the next 17 years. 
She became well known as the face of Skinners.

After her retirement in 1994, Ann had time for charity work and dedicated herself to PACT (Protect All Children Today) and discovered line dancing.  She formed the “Country Girls” line dancing group which has since performed in various nursing homes and other venues around the Sunshine Coast.  Line Dancing became an important part of her life.

Ann was diagnosed with cancer just six weeks ago - about the time she and Syd were to set off on their overseas trip of a lifetime. 
She died in Selangor Hospital at 8.20am on Friday morning, September 13th, 2002. 
A dearly loved wife to Syd,  mother and mother-in-law to Robert and Heather and Glenn and Sharon  and grandmother to Jarrad and Alysha,  she will be greatly missed and lovingly remembered.
