Anne built an extraordinary family with her husband Jim whom she met while she was working at Square D as a secretary after graduating from Girls Tech High School. "Handsome Jim" somehow convinced the gorgeous Anne on a date and the rest was history filled with years of laughter, a growing catering business, attending countless sporting events watching their children and grandchildren play. They were the favorite grandparents at all the school events. Anne and Jim never missed a family wedding and polka danced the night away often. They worked extremely hard and spent their later years enjoying time at their Cranberry Lake cottage which is the family's favorite and most memorable place ever, whether it be fishing, swimming or simply playing cards with each other. Anne leaves an unforgettable legacy her family will honor. We would like to especially thank brother Jeff for his constant loving care and everlasting devotion to Mom and Grandma over the last 17 years – your love, attention, and patience is amazing. We are forever grateful for you Jeff, we love you!
