Anna Luise (Sagel) Grimsby

A war bride, Anna married the love of her life John Grimsby in 1948 in Berlin. As the wife of a career military man she spent several years living at various posts around the world.

Anna was a homemaker and expert seamstress. Quite active in her church she, along with her daughter Monika, sang in the church choir for years and was a member of the women’s group. She loved doing jigsaw puzzles, reading, gardening, visiting with her neighbor Mary, having lunch with her friends from church and spending time with her family.

Anna was a gentle, caring, dynamic woman with a vital appetite for life. She was a beloved wife, mother, and grandmother.

She was preceded in death by her husband John Grimsby and daughter Monika (David) Wooley. She left behind a son, Timothy (Susan) Grimsby along with her cherished grandchildren Sandra Wooley, David (Vicki) Wooley, Travis Grimsby, Ahna Luebs, Erin (Mike) Reynolds, and Kevin (Jessi) Grimsby. She was blessed with nine great grandchildren and 12 great-great grandchildren.
