Dhuey, Anne King (Nee Nienaber) on March 31, 2019. Loving wife of the late Joseph N. Dhuey, M.D., and beloved mother of Michael J. Dhuey, the late Steven P. Dhuey and Andrew J. Dhuey (Bridget Clarke), and grandmother of Erica (Jason Ross, M.D.), Katherine and Maria Dhuey. Proud alumna of Edgewood High School and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Memorial service will be at Christ King Church, Wauwatosa, at a date to be scheduled in the coming weeks. For more than 89 years, Anne filled the world around her with love, joy and laughter. Lots of laughter. Thousands of her former students fondly recall their extraordinarily talented and dedicated kindergarten teacher. Her 53rd Street School (MPS) students will forever remember how Mrs. Dhuey had them choose their favorite painting at the Milwaukee Art Museum, learn about it, and present it to their classmates when they visited. Anne was completely devoted to her family's welfare, always doing everything possible to support her husband and sons. When asked what should be said at her funeral, Anne replied, "Say I was a nut - tell them to forget about me." Alas, that would be impossible for anyone who had the good fortune to know Anne. In lieu of flowers, donations in Anne's memory to the Christ King School Library Fund, to Marquette University High School or to any worthy charity would be appreciated.
It is hard to believe almost two years have past already since Anne died. Whenever I pick up a children's book that we talked about or pick up one of the many books she gave me, I remember her great smile and can still hear her laughter. I hope that her children and grandchildren also smile and laugh as they remember her.

Though I hadn't seen Anne in recent years, I thoroughly enjoyed our phone conversations. We first met many years ago on the campus of Mount Mary University. We were taking a Children's Literature course. Our love of children's lit began a long friendship which included having one of her sons drive my mom, me and Anne around Candy Cane Lane during the holidays, sharing cookies and other baked goods, and sharing ideas to implement in our kindergarten classrooms. Anne was a good friend, ...

It was great growing up next door to Mrs. Dhuey who was one of the people who taught me that being smart meant being funny! I heard she was a great bridge player, and although she lived next to our house with 8 boys & one girl I don't remember her ever getting angry at us. Her brilliance can be seen in her three sons, Michael, Stephen & Andrew. Is she the grandmother of the iPod & Mac+, which Michael helped invent? She told me she refused to use a computer, even though Mike sent her many of...

Mrs Dhuey was very special to me. I spent much of my childhood with her having grown up next door.
She had a great way with words, was always so excited to see me and had a fun self deprecating wit. We laughed a lot. She always had an art project going. She was the most generous friend, neighbor, mother and teacher.
