Ann Anderson

Ann was born on April 7, 1931, in Bessemer, to Steve and Helen (Cristoff) Petcoff.

Ann graduated from A.D. Johnston High School in 1949. After graduation, she worked in Detroit at the Ford Hospital as a messenger and a jr. clerk. Ann then returned to Bessemer where she worked as a Telephone Operator for Michigan Bell Telephone Company for 12 years.

In July 1963, Ann married Albert Anderson at the St. Sebastian Church in Bessemer. They then moved to South Range where they spent many happy years raising their two children, enjoying their beautiful granddaughter, and spending time with family and friends. 

Ann was a member of the Holy Family Catholic Church in South Range, as well as a member of the Altar Society. She enjoyed cooking and baking and was well known for her delicious pasties. She also enjoyed knitting, crocheting, playing cards with her friends, watching sunsets over Lake Superior at her cottage, as well as playing in the Range Area Bowling Leagues. 

Ann was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Al, her parents, her brothers and sister-in-laws, Crist (Charlotte) Petcoff and John (Geraldine Czejkowski) Petcoff.

She is survived by her son, Boyd Anderson; daughter, Beth (Ron) Fisher; granddaughter, Emily (Erik) Lund, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins. 

Ann was a devoted and beloved wife, mother and grandmother and will be greatly missed. Her recipes, stories, and love for her family will always remain.

A Mass of Christian Burial is tentatively scheduled for July.
