Anna Marie Robe
Beloved Wife, Mom, and Mee-Maw, Anna M. Robe (nee Hoffman) of Waukesha passed away on January 19, 2026, at the age of 69 years. She was preceded in death by her parents Chester and Evelyn Hoffman. She is survived by her loving and devoted husband of 47 years, Ralph Robe. She is further survived by her treasured daughters Kathryn Robe-Torres and Elizabeth (Nathan) Englin and her adored grandsons Abiyu Torres and Fabrice Englin. She is also further survived by her caring sister Laura (the late Duane) Verba and brother Ed (Laura) Hoffman and cherished nephews and nieces Jared (Amie) Verba, Jack Hoffman, Delaney Verba, and Carly Hoffman. She is also further survived by her thoughtful father-in-law Clarence (the late Virginia) Robe, her special friends of over 40 years Barb (Toby) Garibaldi and Donna (Dan) Steffen), and a host of other dear friends and extended family members.
