In loving memory of Anne, a vibrant soul whose adventurous spirit touched the hearts of all who knew her. Anne shared a profound connection with Gus, their love evident in the life they shared and the countless journeys they embarked upon together. Her zest for life and passion for travel created a tapestry of cherished memories that will forever be woven into the fabric of our hearts. Though she has departed, Anne's love and the echoes of their adventures will linger as a testament to a remarkable bond.

Her compassionate care touched the lives of those she tended to, leaving a lasting impact on patients and their families. Anne\u0027s nurturing spirit extended beyond the walls of hospitals and private homes as she transitioned to the role of a School Nurse. In her position as a School Nurse in the Mascoutah school district since 1971, Anne became a pillar of support for the students under her care. Her kindness, expertise, and genuine concern for the health and welfare of the young minds entrusted to her care made her an invaluable member of the school community. In 1994 Anne received a well-deserved award of Illinois School Nurse of the Year as well as the national School Nurse of the year in 1995. Anne\u0027s dedication to her profession mirrored the same passion she brought to her relationship with Gus. As we bid farewell to Anne, let us remember not only the adventurous spirit that defined her personal life but also the caring touch that characterized her professional journey.
