Anne M. Hendricks

September 21, 1928 - April 20, 2013

Anne M. Hendrichs September 21, 1928 - April 20, 2013 Anne Hendrichs ("A-Boo"), kind and generous soul, outstanding mother and grandmother, gentle and caring nurse, gambling and lottery addict, queen of the dance floor, good cook, dog lover, crossword puzzle enthusiast, Word Whomp maven, coffee drinker, Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy fiend. Anne grew up on the south side of Chicago, the baddest part of town, the youngest girl of 5 siblings. She always called herself a "tough old bird." During her teenage years and into her twenties, she won many dancing contests with her brother Bill. She raised four children, raised two other children as her own after their mother's tragic death, and was "ma" to hundreds of others. A beautiful, sweet, generous woman, her home was always open to everyone. She entered healthcare, a field she loved, and became an LPN working and retiring from Toledo Hospital. After several years of boredom from not working, she went to work at Sunset House where many times she was older than the ladies she took care of. Her grandkids will miss her scrambled eggs, peanut butter sandwiches and hot tea--no one makes it like grandma! She loved her doggie grandbabies too--up in heaven are extra French fries for her to give to the poor starving animals! It is impossible to put everything she was in a few words. Even on her deathbed she was still asking "can I get you anything?" Because she hated anyone fussing over her, her family will hold a private family-only service free of any type of "theme." Visitation and celebration of her life will be held at Ansberg West Funeral Home, 3000 W. Sylvania, Toledo, OH on Tuesday April 23, 2013, from 4p-8p.
