An 11 year resident of North Braddock and member of St. Thomas Parish, Anne typed the manuscript for Fr Ludvik Nemec’s book “THE INFANT OF PRAGUE” and was an active member of the Thomasonian club, which supported St. Thomas’s high school and grade school.
Anne and her family moved to West Mifflin where they have been members of St Elizabeth of Hungary parish for 56 years. She was an active member and officer of the Altar Society, the ELDA Guild, and PHENOTT. The most important things in life to Anne were practicing her Catholic faith, raising her children, and spending time with Bud, her life’s love, especially when they were dancing. Her other life-long hobbies included playing bridge and reading.
A loving mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Anne was a woman of faith, quietly practicing her beliefs and setting an example for her family. Always willing to help others, Anne traveled all over the country to help her grown children and care for her grandchildren when a family member was ill or needed help.
