Anne was born to William and Alice Wynne in Kansas City, Kansas. A graduate of Bishop Ward High School, Anne met her beloved husband, Floyd, when they both worked at TWA. A dedicated wife and mother of three, she also pursued a career in real estate and mortgage finance, but her true passion was art. Anne was a gifted artist and life-long learner. She enjoyed drawing and painting, especially life drawing and painting portraits. She was an avid reader, often reading multiple books at a time. She also loved traveling and going to the theater, playing bridge and discussing current events. Anne had a sweet tooth for chocolates and bear claw pastries, and a knack for predicting the stock market. She was a gentle soul with a fierce devotion to God and her family. Her Catholic faith was the foundation for everything she did. Affectionately known as “Grandmother,” she cherished connecting with her grandchildren and sharing her love of learning, art and piano.
Anne was preceded in death by brothers Vincent, William, Mayor, Joe, and sisters Mary Lou Kehoe and Alice Buffkin. She is survived by her husband of 59 years, Floyd Joseph Wohlrab, Jr., three daughters Anita Marie (Geoff) Solich, Janet Marie (Joseph) Gose, Natalie Marie (Jim) Atwater; eight grandchildren, Bridget, Madeline, Cooper, Clayton, Cara, Jake, Henry, and Ian; brother Frank and many dear nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
