Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin.

Ann was born February 1, 1944 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Elmer August and Clara Elizabeth (Lanners) Leisle. She grew up, attended school, married, and raised her family in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Ann moved to AZ in 1979 to care for her parents. She returned to Wisconsin in 1993, living in Dellwood and later Adams.

Ann enjoyed fishing, crocheting, and spending time with her family. When her health permitted, she loved to scrimmage local swap meets and yard sales. Her biggest joys in life were her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She always attended school plays, concerts, award ceremonies and birthdays; just to show each and everyone of them how special they were to her. She was the rock and foundation of her family; always lending a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on with opened arms. She will be deeply missed and forever loved by each one.

Ann was preceded in death by her parents, Elmer A. and Clara E. Leisle; and brother, Elmer Leisle.
