Anna Schraudner

July 17, 1990 - December 3, 2025

On May 17, 1995 Annie, Jimmy and Katie were chosen gifts to their parents, Gary Schraudner and Kristi Schaffer. Annie was born in Billings on July 17, 1990 and called to Heaven on December 3, 2025.

Annie was a wonderful daughter, sister, friend and had a smile that would light up any room that she walked into. If you ever needed a hug, Annie gave the best. Did I mention her sense of humor. Oh yes, she had a great sense of humor. A ray of sunshine and someone that would do anything to help family or friends. Even when life got rough for her she always wanted the best for others. Annie came to encounter many struggles in life and always seemed to make the most of her situations. Her heart was made of gold and she gave freely expecting nothing in return.

Annie took a tremendous amount of pride in being the eldest of her siblings, always their protector, and their guidance. Also, she was a phenomenal aunty to her nieces and nephew. Her love for her brother, sister and their children was endless and pure.

Her friends played a huge part in her life, she had many wonderful friends. She took comfort in knowing her friends were always there for her and loved her beautiful soul. They allowed her to express who she really was and she adored every single one of them.

Annie lived for her sports, she started soccer, basketball and softball at an early age. After playing traveling sports for several years she eventually played all three sports for Billings Central High School. The 2005 soccer season, Annie's freshman year she was chosen Rookie of the Year.

Annie attended Montana Youth Challenge Academy and graduated with her G.E.D. Recently she participated in a welding program and her dream was to become a welder to follow in her father's footsteps.

Cooking and baking was something that she loved to do, she was sous chef in Minneapolis where she spent time with her aunties and cousins.

Annie is survived by her mother, Kris Schaffer; her siblings, Jimmy and Katie Schraudner; her five nieces and nephew, Ryan, Talia, Jaylee, Rowdy, Lexie and May. She had a special bond with four aunties, Ann, Jodi, JamiAnn and Coleen. She is also survived by many cousins. Annie was predeceased by her father, Gary Schraudner, November 23, 2023.

Such a bright soul taken way too soon. I didn´t want to believe this. It´s been a long time since we kicked it but damn thinking back on all the memories.. it feels like it was just yesterday. We were a mischievous bunch but we sure did have a lot of fun. Lots of stories to tell with smiles going from ear to ear. Nothing but laughs.. Even during the emotional heart to hearts. Fly high Annie. I will cherish the times we shared forever.

Annie, you had the most beautiful aura. Your giggle with that slow, almost shy, smile brought joy to everyone in the room. I appreciated your innate ability to share anything you have (I remember you giving your last dollars to a homeless man even though it meant you couldn´t buy groceries), your fight to stand up for others, your incredible honesty and work ethic, your desire for fairness in this world. You are beautiful. I was grateful to know you and that you knew my girls. They loved your humor, your energy, your view of the world. I hope you remember those pictures you drew for Ayden and Audrey. They still have them... hanging in their bedrooms - all these years they have taken them wherever they went.

I know there was a lot of pain and that you tried to solve problems on your own. But, I hope you knew that you were part of us, part of our family, part of our hearts. I love you, to the moon and back. Aunt Jami <3
