Anna Lorenz Henninger, 94, of Whitehall, passed away peacefully on Sunday, December 26, 2021 while in residence at Saucon Valley Manor, Hellertown, where she was receiving the supportive and caring services of Family Pillars Hospice. Born on July 30, 1927, in Northampton, Anna was the daughter of the late Ignatius and Anna (Janders) Lorenz and stepdaughter of Andrew Gigler. She was preceded in death by her husband, Milton, in 1987. Anna was employed as a sewing machine operator for various companies. Upon her retirement, she provided “nanny care” for Liane and William, which was a true calling for her. Anna was a devoted member of Queenship of Mary Catholic Church in Northampton and an ardent devotee of polka dancing at the Coplay Saengerbund, where she was a longtime attendee and friend to many.
Anna is survived by nieces and nephews, Patricia Lorenz, Mary Ann Arndt, Janet Close, Stephen Lorenz, Josef Lorenz, Alfred Galler, Michael Galler, Denise Prockle; sister-in-law, Catherine Lemme; and by her most beloved and precious dog, Marcel. Anna was preceded in death by brothers, Ignatius Lorenz, Stephen Lorenz; sisters, Mary Lorenz Galler, Rose Lorenz Hess; stepsisters, Theresa, Freida, and Anna; and nephew, Richard Lorenz.

I remember Anna's great kindness and friendship, especially her long trip (with Pat) from Whitehall to Williamsport to visit our mother, Henrietta Henninger Tyson, in the nursing home. It meant so much to Mom.

I will always remember us dancing polkas together, with you encouraging me to go a little faster! And all the times we enjoyed a meal at the Whitehall Diner! You endured so much in the last few years! May you now rest with your beloved Lord & Savior in eternal life!

Anna was the most sweetest woman I ever met. I’m glad she came into my life at a time when I needed her most. She helped raise my children for a few years and helped mold my children into the adults they are today. She taught them values, manners and respect. Even though I didn’t see her much in the past few years, she is always on my mind and in my heart. Someone I will never forget. Rest in peace Anna!
