Annmarie Margaret Woehrle

A lifelong resident of Oneonta, save for a brief stint in Florida, Annmarie was born on April 7, 1948, to Kenneth and Mary Agnes (O’Malley) Woehrle.

She attended St. Mary’s Catholic School and Oneonta High School and was the eldest of three children. She was a lifelong member of Saint Mary's Catholic Church in Oneonta, NY, where she was baptized. Her faith was a cornerstone of her life, offering her strength and guidance through many of life’s challenges.

She is survived by her brothers Dean (Debbie) Woehrle and Mark (Liz) Woehrle, as well as her stepchildren, Daniel (Kerry) Yager and Dawn (Jeff) Yager Williams. Annmarie was also cherished by many friends and extended family members.

Annmarie dedicated over 30 years working the second shift in the molding department at Amphenol in Sidney, NY. A woman of many talents and interests, she was an avid reader with a particular love for books on Native American life. Her home brimmed with cookbooks and “kitchen gadgets,” though she was more inclined to enjoy collecting these tools than using them for cooking.

Mechanically gifted and fiercely independent, Annmarie taught herself to drive a stick shift by circling her father’s chicken coops until she mastered the technique. She took pride in caring for her home, maintaining her five-acre property, and mowing the lawn on her riding mower well into her later years, over the protests of her well-meaning family. Her industrious nature extended to her creative pursuits; she hand-painted china, a skill she learned from her mother, and wrote heartfelt poetry she shared only with her closest loved ones. It was one such poem that rekindled her romance with David Hanor a decade ago.

Annmarie’s life was defined by her resilience, kindness, and unwavering commitment to family. Unable to have children of her own, she embraced her role as a stepmother to Daniel and Dawn, who moved in with her during their teenage years. She understood the challenges they had faced and devoted herself to guiding them toward brighter futures.

Annmarie’s legacy of love, perseverance, and creativity will live on in the hearts of all who knew her. She was a woman of strength and subtle artistry, devoted to her family and passionate about the life she built.

She will be deeply missed and fondly remembered.

Annmarie spent the last ten years of her life with her first husband, David Hanor, who returned to her later in life and remained her steadfast companion until his passing last year.

She was predeceased by two husbands and will be interred at Oneonta Plains Cemetery, with a memorial service planned for the spring of 2025.
