Marguerite May Anz

Marguerite May Trenton Anz passed away on Thursday, September 28, 2006 at the age of 90. She is survived by her adoring husband, Bill, her sons, Ronald Anz and wife Sallie, Gerald Anz and wife Caroline, Donald Anz and wife Cheryl, her brothers, LeRoy Trenton and wife Kelly, Patrick Trenton and wife Dottie, and sister, Mary Spencer; numerous nieces and nephews, 8 grandchildren, 7 great-grandchildren, and 1 great-great-grandchild.

Marguerite was a San Antonio native and an active member of St. Pius X Catholic Church. She was a homemaker until the youngest of her three sons started school, at which time she began teaching Kindergarten at St. Peter, Prince of the Apostles School in 1954. She taught there until 1959, when she started the Kindergarten program at St. Pius X Catholic School, where she taught for 20 years.

When her husband retired in 1978, she retired also. She touched the lives of many children during her lifetime as a teacher.

Marguerite was a devoted mother and grandmother. She was known by her grandchildren as "Granny." She was the life of every gathering, and when asked if she was attending a social function, she always replied that she'd be there "with bells on!"

She and her husband lived on their "Anz's Acre" in Northridge independently until just one year ago. Marguerite was a bright light on this earth, and she will be missed dearly by all who knew and loved her.
