In Washington, D.C. during World War II, she met Sidney Sanders McMath and the couple married and when the war was over moved to Hot Springs, Arkansas. When Sid McMath became governor in 1949, the McMaths became the initial First Family to occupy what today is known as the Governor’s Mansion. As First Lady, Anne faced numerous challenges. Not only did she have to manage the duties of being First Lady and preparing the new governor’s house for occupancy, she also had to raise a very young family – their youngest was born the same year Governor McMath took office!
