Ann Marie (nee Holtgrave) Mohesky of Breese, IL, passed away Monday, Oct 5, 2020, at HSHS St. Elizabeth Hospital in O’Fallon, IL.

Ann married Vernon Mohesky on September 3, 1966 at St. Dominic Catholic Church in Breese.

She will be greatly missed by her husband; her children, Doug (Margo Hebenstreit) Mohesky of St. Louis, Glenn (Jeannine Essenpreis) Mohesky of Breese, Angie (James) Clarke of Dallas, TX, and Sheila (Mike) Morris of Highland; grandchildren Ross, Veronica, Maxine, Carter, Owen, Iris, Tori, Simone, Luke, & Sabrina; sisters, Joan Fields, Julia Moeller, and Therese (Wayne) Johanning; brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, Bob Alpiser, Roland (Shirley) Mohesky, Theresa Mohesky, Leland (Carol) Mohesky, Wayne (Norma) Mohesky, Laura Wooster, Norvin (Verna) Mohesky, Darrel (Judy) Mohesky, Gilbert (Aileen) Mohesky, and Gerard Mohesky; and many nieces and nephews and lifelong friends.

 

A country girl from the very start, Ann was most proud of her life’s work of being a wife, mother, and grandmother. She was a homemaker and a member of St. Dominic Catholic Church, where she served as a leader of the Resurrection Choir committee. Vern’s constant companion, Ann was caring, witty, and creative. She enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, listening to music, and playing the piano and singing. Additionally, she found joy in scrapbooking, her pets, the beauty of nature, and a well-deserved nap. Ann loved cheering on her grandchildren at their volleyball and soccer games, dance recitals, equestrian events, musicals, academic achievements, and baking successes.
