To everyone that knew Anna Marie, please accept my condolences on her passing to eternal life. She is one of the brightest stars looking down on you from heaven. I had the pleasure of meeting her, and eating at her home, several times when I was visiting my family in Berwyn (Bill, Debbie, Cassie & Ashley Croft). She was such a welcoming person and had a great personality and sense of humor.
Rest in peace, Anna Marie!

My thoughts and prayers are with everyone back home. It was impossible not to visit Grandma and feel welcomed and loved, whether it was for a long stay including dinner or a quick visit (though even on a quick visit she'd try to include a meal). She'll always be missed.

Anna Marie Troher would be able to create a life-long friendship within seconds of meeting someone. She is also the woman who single-handedly kept the United States Postal Service in business by never forgetting to send a note or card for a birhtday, anniversary, any special occasion, or, just because. One of her specialties was making "you" feel special.
She will forever be in our hearts.

I should say, my mother-in-law never drove, but she was excellent at driving from the passenger seat. I never had to worry; she would watch the road for me. Loved her so.

Anna Marie was a beautiful and sweet woman who I had the pleasure of working with at St. John Bosco pre school in Chicago. She loved the children she cooked for and they loved her. God bless you Anna Marie and go with God.
