In the role of mother she was a teacher, a chef, a doctor, a nurse, counselor, gardener, butcher, farmer and a seamstress to name only a few. She gave endlessly, continuously, tireless', and with so much love and forgiveness and compassion. She never asked for anything in return. Her faith in God sustained her thoughout her entire life. Annie will be greatly missed and always remembered by all her loved ones. Not only immediate family but also from cousins, nephews, nieces and friends. Pallbearers will be her 10 grandsons; Preston and Jeffrey Vacek, Floyd Vacek Jr., Kevin and Paul Charanza Jr., Augie Uherek Jr., Michael and Andrew Vacek, Keith and Trey Krejci.
