Ann Marie Mack passed away on August 14, 2013 at the age of 87. She was born October 9, 1925 in Medford, Wisconsin to Wilhelm and Martha Schneider.
Ann married Ronald Sherman Mack on July 16, 1949; he preceded her in death on June 29, 2010. She is survived by her four children, Mary Lee Vice, Elizabeth Minihan (Les), Susan (Suzette) Mack-France (Ken), and David Mack (Beth), brother Al Schneider, sister-in-law Laurie Schneider, sister-in-law Marilyn Dreyer (Richard); grandchildren Jordan Fuerst (Pam), Bronwyn Fuerst, Nicola Chesney, Oliver Chesney, Haley Vice, Dillon & Amanda Mack, Cassidy & Lacey Minihan, and Nicki & Kei France; great grandchildren Jayden Vice, and KatyAnn & Juliet Fuerst; son-in-law Ed Fuerst; and numerous nieces, nephews and foster children, including Matthew and Stephen Musich, Marilyn Elder and Sue Davidson. Her siblings Helen, Martin and Robert preceded her in death.
Ann’s favorite saying was, “Bloom where you are planted.” This saying guided Ann’s philosophy of living, and was deeply rooted in her Christian faith. Throughout her life, Ann faced challenges by scattering seeds of gentleness and love, and looking forward to the promises of the seeds she had sowed. She taught her family that sometimes you just need to dig in your feet, face the sun and bloom right where God has planted you. Ann was a loving and committed wife as she raised four children, nurtured over 60 foster children, and loved and enjoyed her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Ann was a charter member at Risen Savior Lutheran Church in Broomfield, as well as a member for many years at Mt. Hope Lutheran church in Boulder. Ann was involved in many community service activities in the Boulder area, including the Sister Carmen Center, Boulder’s Carmel Community, AT&T ‘s Pioneer Partners. Together with her husband, Ann served faithfully for many years at the Lafayette VFW Post 1771, including two terms as Auxiliary president.
Ann was a passionate seamstress, crafter, gardener and cook. She worked tirelessly to create for others – food, canned goods, clothing, dolls and floral arrangements. Her home always had an open door and space for anyone in need of a meal or a place to stay.
A celebration of Ann’s life will be held on August 20 at 10 am at Mt. Hope Lutheran Church (1345 S. Broadway in Boulder), internment at Green Mountain Cemetery. All are welcome to gather for a luncheon at Mt. Hope following the internment. A visitation will be at Mt. Hope on August 19, from 6-8 pm. Greenwood & Myers Funeral Services is handling the arrangements.
Memorials can be made to Mt. Hope Lutheran Church’s Community Garden Fund or the VFW Ladies Auxiliary, Post #1771 (Lafayette).
The family expresses gratitude to all who cared for Ann with love and dedication throughout her life, especially in the final stages of her life.
