She will be fondly remembered and missed for her selfless giving and loving care of her family.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her sisters Maria Clothilda (Miske) Hutterer, Dorothy Ann (Woodling) Krodinger and brothers Joseph Leo Hutterer and Karl Otto Krodinger, her mother and father in law Charles and Margaret Shultz of Milwaukee.

Ann lost her husband Donald unexpectedly while on vacation in 1994. Their marriage took place on October 26, 1957 at St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church, Milwaukee and the couple settled in Pennsylvania for some time while Donald was in service. She was also preceded in death by an infant daughter, Cathy in 1958.

Ann worked for more than 20 years in Nutrition Services at St. Michaels Hospital. She also held jobs prior to her marriage in an exclusive dress shop and an elevator operator, an accounting clerk and a hat check girl in Milwaukee. She also volunteered at Washington Elementary school as a Teacher's Aide.

Ann was a longtime member of the Stevens Point Star Point Quilters Guild and will be missed by many friends in the guild. She enjoyed quilting as a hobby, attending Quilting shows and volunteered for the Star Point Quilters Guild Comfort and Care group which creates and donates quilts for various charitable organizations. She also created and donated quilts for children hospitalized with serious illnesses.

In addition to quilting Ann enjoyed spending time with her family, enjoyed watching the wildlife around her home and reading mystery novels. She also had a great fondness for her loving granddaughters Laura and Emily, and her beloved dogs particularly, her much loved Bichon, Muffy, who traveled with her everywhere and was her constant, inseparable companion in her later  years.

Mother lived in Christ, and shared this blessing with others.
