Mary Anne Balsiger-Grumblatt

Mary Anne Balsiger-Grumblatt influenced my life in a very positive way through her efforts as a children's choir director in the 1970's. She led the choir when I was a child going through a tough patch of life. Mary Anne taught us quite a few Lutheran favorites but none so eloquently as "How Great Thou Art". She encouraged our limited talents to maximize what was possible from our small group of young ones to early teenagers. To this day I still remember the tune and every word of the first...

Dear dear Mary Anne,

My love to you ..our Zions girl you good and faithful servant. There's so many memories I have from you from Zions Lutheran church. Your wisdom, advice and your love for everyone... you raised your children to be God fearing people from which they have remained steadfast, job well done, mission complete. Now this is your time to rest my lady from all your hard works. I'm just sure you have seen the Kings face by now, how great was that ! I'm also sure after you...
