Anne Willkomm
Anne M. Willkomm, 99, of Kenosha, passed away peacefully on Thursday, October 20, 2011 at Grande Prairie Health and Rehabilitation Center surrounded by her family. Anne was born on July 24, 1912 in Chicago, IL, the daughter of the late Karl and Katherine Nemeth. Her family then moved to St. Ansgar, Iowa where she grew up. She later moved to Kenosha. She married Sylvester Willkomm, and they were married 51 years. Together they raised four children. She was a homemaker and a hard worker. She liked to bake and cook. Her specialty was apple strudel which her mother taught her how to make early in her life. She enjoyed fishing and snowmobiling with her husband. She spent many good years at her retirement home in Dunbar, Wisconsin, and winters in Apache Junction, Arizona. Anne is survived by her children, Catherine (Michael) Bobula, Carl (Sandy) Willkomm, and Donna (Ron Winegarden) Kordus; her grand-children; Michael (Kim Schoen) Bobula, Jill (Patrick) Turay, Shane (Tammy) Willkomm, and Drew (Missi) Kordus; great-grandchildren, Jake Bobula, Kendall Bobula, Libby Willkomm, and Mason Willkomm.

We wish you will remember her with a smile, a fond memory, and a prayer. ***The family would like to extend a special thank you to the Staff of Grande Prairie and Hospice Alliance.*** In keeping with Anne’s wishes a private funeral service was held in her name.

Just wanted to express our deepest sorrow for your loss. It was always a pleasure to transport Anne to appointments when I worked there. My wife, Barb, also enjoyed the times she had when taking care of her at Grande Prarie. She will be missed. Our prayers are with you all.Dave and Barb Lyons

We are so sorry to hear of the loss of your Mother. I know that your Mother and Dad both enjoyed the Northwoods of Wisconsin just as much as Joe and I do. There is much beauty here. I am sure she is resting peacefully now with your Dad up in heaven and if it is anything like the Northwoods in the fall, it is beautiful. As Sister Generose says about the Northwoods, we are at God's doorstep. She will be remembered by us. Our sincere condolences to all of you from us. Judy and Joe
