Anna Lee Martin, age 85, passed away on Thursday 13, 2025, at St. Lukes South Shore in Cudahy, Wisconsin. Anna was born on February 19, 1940, in Keshena, WI to the late Richard Tucker and Mary Ann Matchopatow. After graduating from high school, she owned and operated her own commercial cleaning business for over 40 years before retiring at 65. Anna enjoyed sewing and going up north fishing. She was a feisty woman, and you always knew if she liked you. Anna was a fun and loving mother who loved spending time with her children, going on road trips and rides through the countryside. There were many fond memories of getting lost and finding the way back home. Later in life, Anna found a love for cooking and trying new recipes from Emerald Lagasse.

Anna is survived by her children, Ronda Christ, Norma Best, Daphne Decker and John Christ; five grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; and brother, Anthony Martin. She is further survived by numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

Anna is preceded in death by her son, Guy Christ; mother, Mary Ann Matchopatow; and five brothers.

A gathering of friends and family will be held from 11:00 am until 1:30 pm on Thursday November 20, 2025, at Swedberg Funeral Home in Shawano with a short prayer following the gathering. Inurnment will be held at Rest Haven Cemetery at a later date.
