In 1983 they built their retirement home - beautiful. They loved the clean air - short winters - beautiful summers - long walks. Along the way would visit with neighbors, and friends. Great neighborhood block parties 40 or more would gather for potluck and still be home for the sixoclock news, it was perfect!After 51 years of marriage Annie would lose her husband.

We would like to share some memories of our great grandma we called Oma We remember how excited we would get to go to her house. We would always want to ride in her golfcart. We just thought it was the coolest thing ever. We would check her mail and have Papa Gary drive around Jess Ranch. She would always have a jar of candy on her coffee table, we would always run and sneak to steal the candy. Oma made the best crepes ever. We would wake up early in the morning and grub on crepes. The morning we got the phone call that she passed it broke our hearts. These memories will never be forgotten. May she rest in paradise. We love and miss you.
