Wiedemann and her late husband Carl were active in ranching and farming and owned the Slash C Ranch.

Anna Belle Wiedemann was born on July 22, 1931, in a country home near Piedmont, Oklahoma, to parents John and Ruby Palmer. Wiedemann grew up in a rural town with her parents and two sisters, attending a one-room school house for eight years. After passing the county exam, Wiedemann attended high school in Okarche, Oklahoma. Wiedemann married her husband Carl out of high school and the two worked on a farm that was on school land. Later on, Wiedemann got a job outside of the farm and worked for Dr. Leroy Goodman at his office on Main Street in Yukon, Oklahoma. After a few other jobs, the couple eventually acquired her parents' land after they moved to El Reno. Carl's parents died soon after and the couple acquired their estate as well, which over time became part of the three sections of land they titled Slash C Ranch.
