Anne was a graduate of Whiting High School Class of “42”. She worked at Standard Oil Company, but enjoyed waitressing at Vogel’s, Al Knapp’s, and Rupcich’s Restaurants in Indiana much more than sitting behind a desk.

Anne was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. She was loved dearly by all those who knew her. She was an amazing and strong woman, with a deep faith in God. She always had a sweet smile on her face, and you just wanted to hug her. She will be deeply missed by her family and friends.
