Anne Helen Doublestein (Chlebana), age 92 of Wayland and born in Shelbyville, MI, went home to our Lord on Tuesday, December 1, 2020. She was preceded in death by her husband, Erwin R. Doublestein; parents Michael and Johanna Chlebana; brothers Charles, Joseph, Alex, Michael, and Andrew Chlebana; and sisters Julia Kotrba and Amelia Peck.
Anne will be lovingly remembered by her sons Erwin Jr. (Cathy), Gary (Linda), Scott (Pam); sister, Eleanor (Henry) Banas; six grandchildren; 16 great-grandchildren; many nieces and nephews; brother-in-law, Rev. William (Karen) Doubblestein; and sisters-in-law Elizabeth Chlebana, Agnes Chlebana, MaryAnn Doublestein, and Susan Doublestein.
Anne will be remembered for her ability to “adopt" nearly everyone who entered her home. She especially appreciated the loving care given by the staff of Green Acres Assisted Living. She was very proud of her family and took every opportunity to highlight their accomplishments. Her “office” was the kitchen table and she did some of her best work over coffee and sweet rolls.
Visitation will occur at SS Cyril and Methodius Catholic Church, 159 - 131st Avenue, Wayland, MI at
10 a.m. on Friday, December 18, 2020. Funeral Mass will begin at 11 a.m. The Mass will be live-streamed for those unable to attend in person. A Memorial Celebration and interment will be scheduled in late June at Germond Cemetery on 126th St., Wayland Township.
