Ann and Ben's marriage was a happy one until long after their children had left home. But after Ben retired he asked for a divorce, and Ann was wounded by the event. She once said she had married him forever and in her mind she would always be married, the divorce would not change that! She proved that later when Ben was sick with cancer and Ann paid his medical bills. Ben died in Tulsa, from complications with his cancer treatments in1984. Ann moved to California to be close to Sam and Ben and their wives and now lives in Murphys. |
