Therese Mancuso Relation to Deceased: friend Sally and I remember Anna Mae as being an extremely kind and gentle person. We always enjoyed her company, especially her outgoing personality. Our sincerest condolences to John and the rest of her family. The butterfly emerges from its silken shell- Reborn, it arises, no longer bound to earth. Free at last, the butterfly glides to heights unknown before. So do our loved ones find a beautiful release as, earthbound no more, they leave our sight and joyfully rise to a garden of matchless beauty, a place of light and peace. -Evelyn Phillips
Sally and Joe Mech Relation to Deceased: worked at Hawkeye While I was waiting for my government clearance in 1972 (I think) I worked at Hawkeye on the 7th floor with Anna Mae keypunching jobs for the guys in Model Shop. Anna Mae knew my now husband Joe Mech who worked in the Model Shop and she was the person who introduced us, and well the rest is history. We were married in 1974 and have three grown children and without her matchmaking, Joe and I might not be together today! I always remember how very petite and stylish Anna Mae was I’ll never forget how she loved to wear those pretty cherry pins. She was a very caring and fun person to be around. I’m so glad to have known her. Joe and I send special and caring thoughts to Anna Mae’s family at this very difficult time.

Melissa Funke Mahar Relation to Deceased: friend Anna Mae was such a kind and generous woman. I’ll never forget how she LOVED my kids and would always come over to my parents when we were in town visiting. She called Tate “Buster Brown” and was so happy that he knew her name too even at just 2 years! She would always bring her pizza and little lgifts or treats for them. She will be missed by all of us.

Dick Ahl Relation to Deceased: Friend to husband John, I had breakfast with Joe Cimino this morning and he told me of the passing of your wife. I was shocked. I just felt I had to send you this note to say how sorry I am for the loss to you and your familly. I can only put myself in your shoes and imagine the blow you have been dealt. My sincere regrets. Dick Ahl
Carol Beechey Relation to Deceased: co-worker @Kodak I worked with Anna Mae at Kodak in the late 60s and early 70’s. We being the same age immeditely bonded and spent hours “girl talking”. I use to try to figure out how I could dress and act as attractive as she did. I have NEVER forgotten Anna Mae and over the years thought of her many times and wondered where she was. I always thought her name was as beautiful as she was a person. Whenever she came into my thoughts I always remembered her sweet face and her softness and gentleness. My sincere condolences to her husband and family. Carol Beechey As we look back over time We find ourselves wondering ….. Did we remember to thank you enough For all you have done for us? For all the times you were by our sides To help and support us ….. To celebrate our successes To understand our problems And accept our defeats? Or for teaching us by your example, The value of hard work, good judgement, Courage and integrity? We wonder if we ever thanked you For the sacrifices you made. To let us have the very best? And for the simple things Like laughter, smiles and times we shared? If we have forgotten to show our Gratitude enough for all the things you did, We’re thanking you now. And we are hoping you knew all along, How much you meant to us.
