Annamae Walter, age 94 of Ainsworth, went to heaven on Saturday December 29, 2012. She was born in Elsmere, NE on May 6, 1918 to Lee and Hervian (Chase) Luther. She lived life fully and enviably, never failing to make people welcome in her home ~ feeding the masses, fixing hair or the roof ~ she always had a shoulder to cry on, an ear to listen, a word of encouragement and never a judgmental thing to say. We are blessed to have loved her!
Those left who will miss her deeply are her grandchildren Leslie and Randy Anway and their children Sierra, Evan and Laken and Laken’s daughter, Annamae’s great great granddaughter Avery; Nikki and John Bauer and their daughter Summer; Paul and Victoria (Sanchez) Stratton and Patrick and Kaylyn Stratton; Shad and Angela Hall and their daughter Kelseigh; Regan Rexroad and her children Morgan and Taylor; Mike Leal and Scott and Ginger Leal and their children Austin, Jayden and Jordan; Annamae’s daughter-in-law Joanne Hall; son-in-law Dolan Berg; and two sisters Mary Hoover and Susie Roberts and brother Don Luther; as well as hundreds of kids who called her Grandma and she loved as such.
Annamae was greeted in heaven by both her parents; her husband Frank Walter and her two beloved children Ron Hall and Sharon Stratton; two daughters by marriage Twylla Berg and Maxine Bellany; two sisters Evelyn Yarbrough and Eleanor Smith; two brothers Harold and Raymond Luther; and grandson Kevin Berg.
