Annie M. Soderberg

I am greatful for the opportunity to get to know annie. I very much enjoyed listening to the stories about her life and her travels. I will miss going along on those vists. She was a very special Lady.

We are so sorry for your loss. It's a difficult time when we lose someone we love, but find strength in your family.

A life full of adventure is how you would describe Grandma's 96 years. Things weren't always easy for her and for that I am proud of who she was and what she meant to many.

Her travels to the US as a young woman, raising 5 children single handedly, 21 years of dedicated service at the hospital, her love of sports (especially the Tigers)and her fondness of travel are things I will always remember about her.

Grandma, I'm so sorry I didn't find time to visit you when I could have these last few years, but trust me when I say the times I did spend with you in Kalamazoo talking of your journey to America and vidieotaping your first hand experience as you walked me through your travel to America I will always treasure and show to my grand and great granchildren.
Your Grandson, Dave Sizemore

Dancing with Annie--A Poem

Oh! How she danced her long, long life through.

As the musical rhythms caught hold of her soul,

She swirled and she spun sans a care in the world.

If it is true that angels are harpists,

And if it is true that heavenly choirs sing,

Then have no doubt that Annie still dances----

To their heavenly tunes.

In Memory of Annie Martin Callaghan Soderberg
