We have many fond memories of Aunt Anne, especially during recent years when she would tell stories of times past. We shared some good laughs and sometimes teased her, and she was such a good sport about it. She will truly be missed. Our thoughts go out to Paul, Mark, Ted and their families. Your mom was so proud of you all and always shared your accomplishments with us. May you always remember the good times you shared.

We shall miss Anne very much; however, we know that she lives on in her family and they will find her in the words of wisdom she imparted, in the recipes she handed down from Ukrainian tradition, and in that knowing smile projecting her unwavering love for them. We hope that this grief passes swiftly to be replaced by an enveloping warmth of the memory of an unforgettable woman.

Our deepest sympathies to you all.
We remember her so fondly, especially the 4th of July cookouts she and Wally hosted way back when. Didn't we have some good times!
She was a kind and loving lady.
