Ann Wachlarowicz Obituary

Ann M. Wachlarowicz, 60-year-old resident of Little Falls, MN, passed away Wednesday, October 1, 2025 at her home in Little Falls.

A private service will be held. Caring for Ann and her family is the LeMieur Funeral Home In Little Falls, MN.

Ann Margaret was born on February 21, 1965, to the late John and Rose Wachlarowicz.

Ann is survived by her sister, Mary and Steve Dewald; brothers, Jack and Grace, Frank, Jim and Lynn; sisters-in-law, Penny (Tom) and Roxanne (Jeff) and many nieces and nephews.

Ann was born with Down Syndrome and lived a full life. She broke barriers, had a strong will and spirit and taught her family the meaning of love, laughter and determination. Ann was an artist who loved to draw, color and create beautiful pictures. She also learned to cross stitch and made 100's of dish cloths. She was funny, kind and loved to give big hugs. She enjoyed swimming, bowling, watching The Price is Right, music and dancing. She loved to go to Perkins, the Dairy Queen and stopping for a pumpkin spice cappuccino and bag of sour cream and onion chips. Ann was special and SO LOVED. She was everyone's favorite. Rest peacefully sweet angel.

Special thank you to those who cared deeply for her- Rosewood Group Home, Dr. Gregory McNamara and Horizon Health Hospice.

If you wish to honor Ann, please consider a donation to the Alzheimer's Association or Lutheran Social Services of MN.
