Anaise E. "Nai" Haubrich

QUINCY -- Anaise E. "Nai" Haubrich, 105, of Quincy, died Wednesday, Sept. 2, 2015, at Sunset Home.

Mrs. Haubrich was born Oct. 5, 1909, in Mansura, La., a daughter of Valbone and Irma "Mimi" Scallan. She married George W. Haubrich on Aug. 5, 1933. He preceded her in death Jan. 6, 1995.

George and Anaise started a Catholic publishing business, Parish Action Magazine, in 1939. The business remains in existence and is known as PAM Printers and Publishers, publishing and printing "Pray Together" missalettes for Catholic churches throughout the United States. She was active with the business until her retirement in 1990.

Mrs. Haubrich was a woman of strong faith, a lifelong Roman Catholic. She was a longtime member of St. Peter Catholic Church.

She was a gifted artist, with paintings displayed throughout the community and gracing the covers of many "Pray Together" missalettes.

Holidays and family birthday celebrations were important to her. Large Christmas gatherings at her home were filled with sing-alongs, live music and food, and she always prepared special dinners for the birthdays of her four sons, their wives and her grandchildren.

Nai never forgot her French and New Orleans-area roots, and her French-Creole cooking recipes were handed down to her children and grandchildren.
