service industry and was known for her welcoming laugh and a smile.

She married the late Leroy Neu in 2004, and they lived together in Las Vegas since 1986. Annie

by daughters from Leroy’s first marriage; Janet Neu, Barbara O’Haver, Diane Stussy; three

brothers, Carroll, Ronald, and Joseph Fencil; two grandchildren, Travis and Justin Cutler; and

She grew up on a farm in Ewen Michigan and learned her solid work ethic assisting the family

on the farm. During her High School years Annie who was known as “Fencil” participated in

the Glee Cub, Tri-Hi-Y, 4-H, was class vice-president and part of the yearbook staff. Annie

moved to Racine, Wisconsin with her two girlfriends Anita (Knuutila) Hloushek and Bertha

(Franti) Coleman. She worked at S.C. Johnson Wax where she meant her first husband Alex

Swiencicki. When her children Lora and Leann were born, she left the work force to raise

them and was a dedicated mother to the girls. Annie’s journey took her to Las Vegas with

Leroy where their first home was in North Las Vegas which at the time was off the paved

roads. Annie and Leroy welcomed many guests into their home and were gracious in showing

them the many sides of Las Vegas.

Annie was a very good bowler and would travel to the State and National Bowling tournaments

with her friend Cathy Larrabee. She was a dedicated Green Bay Packer and Chicago

Cubs fan and attended many games. She also was an avid landscaper and the backyard of the

Las Vegas home was worthy of a Better Homes and Garden cover. Annie loved dogs especially

her beloved Megabucks and Beanie.

Anyone who met Annie was taken in with her great laugh and sincere manner. Annie’s yearbook

quote was “A good laugh is sunshine in any house.” She truly lived this motto. She will

be greatly missed.
