On September 7, 1992 she married her best friend and the love of her life, Rick Cihonski. They did everything together, including work together. Anne was the type of person that would give you the shirt off her back if that’s all she had left to give. She loved stuffed animals, music, playing games, staying up late, and the Dallas Cowboys. Abby and Cheyenne, her dogs, were her faithful companions.

Anne is preceded in death by her husband, Rick Cihonski, her father, Robert C. Walker, and her brother, David F. Walker.

She is survived by her mother, Marie Walker, brother, Robert C. Walker Jr. (Sandy), sister-in-law, Wanda Walker, brothers-in-law, Dan L. Cihonski (Elaine) of Harrisburg, PA; and John L. Cihonski (Pat) of San Jose, CA; and sister-in-law, Carole (Morris) Lint of Tiffin, OH. She is also survived by nieces and nephews, Raquelle Trimble (Jerry), Robert Charles Walker III, Dave Walker, Matthew (Kim) Walker, Jon Walker, Andrew Cihonski, Jen (Nate) Bissot, Diane Cihonski, Carrie (Adam) Vukich, Shannon Garrison, Eric Lint and Morgan Abby, and several grandnieces and grandnephews. Pallbearers will be: Jerry Trimble, Robert Charles Walker III, Dan L. Cihonski, John L. Cihonski, and Henry Williams of Tucson, AZ.

We wish to acknowledge Barbara Horsely, Lillian Riley, Elva Alacon, and Sharon Kelley for their devoted friendship and care.
