She is joined in Heaven with her parents, Donna (Keller) Weidlich and Robert Weidlich.

Anne was a homemaker who collected dolls, and loved playing the piano. Although she didn't begin being a sports enthusiast, she grew to love it. Days of Our Lives was on at 1 pm - sharp, and everyone knew to not make a sound during that time! She loved animals and had both dogs and cats her entire life. But, her true joy was seeing and loving her grandchildren.

Visitation will be held at the Central Christian Church on Thursday, February 24, 2022 from 10:00 am - 11:00 am with the funeral services immediately following at 11:00 am with Pastor Rob Schwartz officiating.
