DONNELLY, Anna Marie (nee Ruetz)
We are deeply saddened by the passing of Anna Donnelly on Tuesday, February 1, 2022, at the age of 94. Beloved wife of the late Edward Donnelly of 46 years. Loving mother of Claire Kirilo (Tom), Michael, Laurie Davidson (Dan) and Paul (Debbie). Cherished Grandma of Adam, Christina, Amanda, Sam, Megan, Kaitlyn, Logan, Eric, Mariah and Sarah and great grandma of Noah, Lily, Lincoln, Charlotte, Danika, Quinn and Jax. Survived by her dear sister Mary Nuernberger, sister-in-law Helene Ruetz, Shirley Ruetz & brother-in-law John Duffy. Predeceased by her siblings Alvin (Patricia & Veronica), Francis, Albert (Betty), Marguerite Duffy, William, and brother-in-law Richard Nuernberger. She will be sadly missed by her nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends.
She was our guiding light, our North Star. Anna was a devoted parishioner of St Raphael’s Roman Catholic Church and an active member of the Catholic Women’s League for over 60 years. She loved to socialize at her weekly euchre card games, loved reading, gardening, sewing, baking, and taking care of all of us. Anna volunteered her time at the Good Shepherd Centre for many years, serving meals to everyone that came through the center.
A special thank you to Anna’s personal PSW Janina, the nurses and PSWs at Billing’s Court Manor where mom lived for the last five months. The care she received was amazing especially during the pandemic.
