Annie Jean Grochowski, October 16, 1942 to June 4, 2025, from Sterling Heights, passed away in Bloomfield Hills. Annie is survived by her children Mark Holden (Christine) of Macomb, and Karen Holden-Neff (Brad) of Troy, her cherished grandchildren Bradley (Jacki), Bryce, Carleen and Andrew as well as by her beautiful great granddaughter, Faye. She will also be missed by her sibings, Linnon (Pat) Farris, Gerri (Robert) Feld, Judy Marcum, Charlean Lobaito, Donnie (Jean) Farris, Yvonne (Bill) Harris, and Hope (Jimmy) Ko. She will also be missed by her many nieces and nephews. Annie was predeceased by her husband, Edward, parents C.B. and Verta Farris, sister Barbara Zubas and brother-in-laws, Tommy Lobaito and Norman Zubas.
Annie stayed independent for as long as she was able. In her spare time she crafted beautiful handmade quilts and many family members were blessed to receive one from her. She loved putting together puzzles and shopping for treasures at local garage sales. Annie will be greatly missed.
A family memorial service will be held later this summer.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions be made to the Alzheimer's Association of Southeast Michigan.
