Anna (Toni) was immensely loved by her family and friends. She will be deeply missed. Her loving touch extended to everyone she met. Grandma was dearly devoted to her grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great-great grandchildren.

Anna (Toni) was the first female athlete elected into the St. Charles County Sports Hall of Fame. She was a brief member of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Grandma loved to fish, watch baseball games, Hallmark shows, and interact everyday with family and friends.
