Ann Day was born in 1927 in Malta, where her father was an officer in the British Royal Navy. She spent her summers and the first years of the war at La Haule Manor on the Channel Island of Jersey, the home that was the seat of her grandfather, R. R.

She and her family escaped to England, leaving again on another ship in July as refugees to the U.S.”
Eventually, she received “a BA, Magna cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa from Mt. Holyoke College, South Hadley, Mass. in 1948.”
