Anne was a member of Croatian Lodge #170 also a former "Haborite".  She enjoyed China Painting, cooking, baking and sharing her Croatian Heritage with her family. She was a former Girl Scout Leader and volunteer for her Church and Rosary Society. Anne had a special devotion to the Blessed Mother. Many called on Anne, known as the "prayer warrior," to add their special intentions to her daily rosary. Anne had a glowing demeanor and smile, she was full of wisdom and had a wonderful sense of humor.  She was truly a wonderful example of the Greatest Generation. Until we meet again … sleep in peace...MIR
