Anna Theodora Mattheis was born on July 26, 1935 to Bernhard Anton and Franziska Elisabeth Lunebrink in Werne a.d. Lippe, Germany. She was wed to Jakob Mattheis on June 2, 1956. In November of 1956 she immigrated to the United States from Germany to East Liverpool, Ohio. Anna and her husband Jakob were blessed with two children, a son and daughter while residing in Ohio. A few years later she and Jakob moved the family to Milwaukee, Wisconsin where she also found the Lord while attending German Bethel Baptist Church. Anna worked at Herbst Shoe Factory for a few years and then was employed at Briggs and Stratton to work on an assembly line for 30 years. She and Jakob were able to celebrate their 65th wedding anniversary on June 2, 2021. Sadly, Jakob passed away on January 12, 2022.
Anna will be dearly missed by her son, Bernhard and daughter, Anita (Bruce), 7 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren as well as other relatives and friends.
