Appleton

Anne passed on peacefully at home on Thursday, May 17 to join her son James; her parents, Annie (Simpson) and Donald Fowler; and her grandson, Ian Mutchler. She was born in Detroit, Michigan on June 29, 1929.

Anne met her life’s love, William Frederick Markwardt, in Detroit, Michigan when they were both 14 at Barry’s Drugstore. Ann was a Soda Jerk and Bill worked next door at a grocery store. They danced together often at the Campus and Grandee Ballrooms and graduated together from Cooley High School. They married in 1948 in Detroit, Michigan, and lovingly nurtured seven children: Sherry (Keith) Mutchler; William III (Josie); Nan (Rick) Theiss; James; Don (Cam); Andrew (Kelly); Jane (Keith) Griesinger; and 15 grandchildren: Megan, Ian, Katie, Bronwyn; William IV, Maggie, Jim; Jennifer, Anne, Julia; Laura, Donald, Ruth; Alex; William.

Anne was proud of her Scottish heritage and visited Scotland several times to visit friends and relatives and enjoyed the pleasure of visiting with Scottish people and sharing their customs with her family. She endowed in each of her children and grandchildren that same love of Scotland.
Anne was a member of St. Bernard’s Parish in Appleton.

Burial will be in Parkview Memorial Cemetery, Livonia, Michigan. Friends may call at the church from 3:00 pm, Monday until the time of the mass. In lieu of flowers a memorial fund has been established for ThedaCare at Home Hospice.
