Anna Marie Wiese

Anna Marie Wiese, age 93, originally from Morelia, Michoacán, Mexico, passed away peacefully on October 27, 2026, following a lengthy illness.

Born on January 10, 1933, in Morelia, Anna carried the warmth, spirit, and vibrant traditions of her birthplace with her throughout her life. She devoted herself to her family and the people she loved and will be remembered for her strength, grace, and the lasting legacy she leaves behind.

Anna was blessed with a wide circle of dear friends, many of whom remained part of her life for many years. She brought joy, laughter, and wisdom to those around her and was cherished as a loyal confidante, generous host, and source of constant encouragement. Her friendships were built on love, trust, and mutual respect, and her presence touched the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Anna was preceded in death by her parents; her beloved husband, William Ormond Wiese, in 1987; and her cherished son, Ormond Robert Wiese, who passed away at the age of eight in 1966.

She is survived by her loving children Patricia Wiese McIlhaney, Karl Raúl Wiese, and Mary Wiese McGowan.

She also leaves behind her siblings, beloved grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and extended family members, all of whom brought great joy and meaning to her life.

Anna's memory will live on through the many lives she touched, the friendships she treasured, and the love she shared with her family.
