Annie grew up on her family farm working as a young child. She and her husband worked side by side, milking cows on their dairy farm for many years. She enjoyed feeding her farm cats and will be remembered as a modern farm woman ahead of her time. She proudly raised 9 children and cherished her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was extremely proud of her rhubarb patch and was always willing to share with family and friends for whom she loved making rhubarb desserts. She was also very particular about her lawn and was still mowing up until 2 years ago. Annie was a very devoted Catholic and attended St. Lawrence Catholic Church, Rhine.

Per Annie's wishes there will be a private family service at a later date at St. Lawrence Catholic Church with burial at St. Joseph Cemetery, Wapakoneta.
