Anna Lewenz Obituary

LEWENZ

ANNA KAYLIN was born on October 3, 1991, to her parents Elaine and David Lewenz and her brother, Michael Lewenz. On August 24, 2016, at the age of 24 Anna unexpectedly passed away. Anna is survived by her parents, her brother, her grandparents Kathryn Workens and Bess Lewenz and numerous loving aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Anna graduated from Lahser High School in 2009. Anna loved learning and reading. Her true passion was math, and she had recently been accepted at Wayne State University to pursue her doctorate degree in Mathematics. She had a passion for music, art and equestrian activities as well. At the age of 7, Anna started to play the violin and quickly became an accomplished violinist. Anna's passion for art brought her to countless museums and a desire to create her own artwork. Much of Anna's youth was spent at the Bloomfield Hills Open Hunt Club where Anna competed as a Hunter Jumper with her horse, Seth. Anna was ambitious and fearless, and yet, had a sweet disposition. She loved to learn and grow intellectually. At the age of 15, Anna enrolled and excelled in summer courses at Harvard University. The next summer she went to Finland as an exchange student. Anna enjoyed experiencing and learning about other cultures. Anna achieved so much in such a short time. Anna will be forever loved and missed by those who knew her. A Memorial Service will be held at St. Hugo of the Hills Church, 2215 Opdyke Rd, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan 48304, on Monday, August 29, 2016 at 11:00 am. Following the Memorial, a gathering celebrating Anna's life will be held at the Iroquois Club, 43248 Woodward Ave, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan 48302.

I have been thinking lovingly of Anna and her family since I heard this terrible news last Thursday. My heart can hardly wrap itself around the idea that she is gone. Anna was one of my violin students for a few years. I was so proud that she chose to perform a senior solo with her orchestra. The last time I saw her was a few years ago at Lowe's. She and her mother were looking at paint colors on a Sunday morning. They looked so happy! I imagined they were decorating Anna's first apartment or her college dorm room . Such a sweet, beautiful, smart girl. Love to you, Elaine and family.

We extend our most sincere condolences to all of the Lewenz family. Words really can't express what a delightful, joyful person she was. We always truly enjoyed having Anna over during her middle school and high school days.
Anna was one of Jana's (our daughter) closest friends. I know they have shared some special memories of the fun times they spent together.
Our family was extremely fond of her.
May Anna's kind soul rest in peace.

Dear Anna,
So hard to believe I wont see your smiling face or hear your bubbly voice on the phone. The way you could be so supportive and so encouraging will never be duplicated.
Even my daughter was sad - the once or twice you spoke to her on the phone 7-8 months ago - you became her "pal" so quickly.

I will miss you.........

Dear Elaine, Dave, Mike and Family: Our hearts are broken by the news of Anna's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. We will always remember Anna's laugh and huge bright smile. We will always have fond memories of Anna with our daughter Melissa:
1. They needed to have the same dress and of course, the same shoes for elementary school graduation!
2. They were partners in all of their class projects. The project would invariably need a video. They would make the video, edit, then watch in sheer delight. They would also congratulate each other for the great job they did.
3. They loved their dogs and their horses.

They had a friendship that continued through Middle School, High School, and beyond. Anna was always a welcomed member in our family. She will be in our hearts forever.

Love, The Boyer Family

The world is less pretty with this lovely young lady gone from this world. I know Elaine through my sister Barbara and our family wants to let you know how saddened this sudden loss has made us knowing how we would feel if we had lost one of our own so very young. There are no words for sure, but you are in our thoughts and prayers and will be for a while as somehow God's graces surround you with only the beautiful memories of a beautiful daughter we can see by her photo.
Take good care knowing we care and pray.
