Anna lived her entire married life in Kimberly and at times worked for the Kimberly Clark and H. C. Prange companies. She loved her flower gardens and enjoyed working soil. Anna also enjoyed golf and played on the Countryside Ladies and Couples Leagues for many years. In early retirement she was also a league bowler. Anna was especially fond of spending summer vacations with her family on Clear Lake in the Manitowish Waters area. She loved her grandkids and great grandkids and was more than a willing babysitter.
