Sorry to hear of Aunty Ann’s passing. I had just talked to her on her birthday. I as glad that we were able to come last year to visit with her and family members. Know that she is no longer in pain and in a better place. We will be there Thursday to say our final goodbyes and pray for her.

They lived in Avon for 15 years and built a house on a 40-acre hobby farm in St. Wendel where she was a homemaker. After Archie passed away in 2003, she moved to Avon where she enjoyed her patio home for 12 years.
Ann enjoyed cooking, gardening, quilting, casinos, church bazaars, BINGO, ice fishing at Lake of Woods as well as travels to Missouri, Washington DC, Texas, California, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Arizona and Mexico. She was a member of St. Columbkille Parish and Christian Women.
Ann is survived by her children Ronald (Judy) Jonas of Hereford, AZ, Leroy (Ramona) Jonas of Avon, Renee (Daniel) Brinkman of Sauk Rapids and Patricia (Jayson) Molitor of Rockville, seven grandchildren and nine great grandchildren.
Preceding Ann in death were her parents, husband Archie, sisters Sophie Wojciehowski, Alma Pierskalla, Helen Asplund, Martha Holliday and Eleanor Lubbesmeier and brothers Stanley, Leo, Alois, Francis and John Rudnicki.
Special thanks to the staff at Good Shepherd Community for the care Ann received.
