Glenn preceded her in death on December 15, 1985. She was a member of Most Precious Blood Catholic Church, New London, WI. Ann worked hard all her entire life. She enjoyed being outdoors, going to the park, or picking berries, or going on horse-drawn hayrides and picking pumpkins. She enjoyed Dilly Bar visits and even said sometimes she would eat ice-cream for breakfast. She enjoyed a good glass of Mogan David wine. She always enjoyed St. Patrick’s Day, because she said “New Dublin would always have a nice parade for her birthday.” “Erin Go Bragh!” She enjoyed driving around looking at Christmas lights or going for rides with Marge. She also enjoyed getting away and relaxing with Bernie Briski, Jean Marie Mueller, Mark and Judy Fellers, and Linda Friday. She was also known for her favorite coleslaw and potato salad recipes. Most of all she enjoyed spending time with her children and her grandchildren. She always put others’ needs in front of her own.
