Ann E. Trunkel was born on Nov. 18, 1908, in Willard, the eldest child of Anton and Anna (nee Stalzer) Trunkel. She was raised in Willard and received her education at the Willard State Graded School. As aa young woman, she moved to Chicago where she worked as a cook, and in catering. She returned to Willard and married John A. Snedic on Aug. 16, 1932, in Sheboygan. They later moved into Greenwood, where they lived for several years, and in the mid-1980s, moved to Willard. She was a homemaker and raised three children.

Slovenian Lodge, served as president of the Catholic Women’s Deanery, was involved in the Blood Bank for almost 50 years, and was a band mother.

She will be dearly missed by her three children, William J. Snedic, Willard, James B, (Ruth) Snedic, West Allis, and Mary Ann (Ron) Snedic-Wunderlin, Minneapolis, Minn.; two grandchildren, Jennifer Ann (Tim) Snedic-Barber, Milwaukee, and Remi Lynn Snedic, West Allis, one brother, Edward Trunkel, Greenwood; and nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
