Visitation was held from 2-5 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 5, 2004, at Reid's Funeral Chapel in Greene, where a public Scripture Service was held at 4 p.m. Visitation will continue at the church Monday one hour before services.

Anna F. Litterer was born September 17, 1922, in rural Riverton Township, Floyd County, a daughter of Fred and A. Marie Scheidecker, and died Friday, Dec. 3, 2004, at Liebe Care Center in Greene..

She was baptized October 15, 1922 at her parent's home, and confirmed on May 9, 1937, at St. John Evangelical, Pleasant Hill, rural Nashua. She received her education and graduated from the Greene High School in 1942. She received her teaching certificate from the Iowa State Teacher's College in Cedar Falls.

On Sept. 6, 1943, she was united in marriage to Francis Lyle Brinkman at the Little Brown Church in Nashua. Anna accompanied her husband to the various military locations where he was stationed during World War II. Following his discharge they returned to Greene where they started farming on the Crabapple farm, remaining there until 1968 when they moved into their new home in town.

Anna and Francis enjoyed ten winters in Mercedes, Texas. Her interests included puzzles, card games, gardening, and canning. She was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother, whose paramount concern was the needs of her family. She was a very humble lady that provided deep inner strength for her loved ones.

She was a faithful member of St. Peter Lutheran Church where she served on the Altar Guild, taught Sunday School, and was a member of WELCA.

She will be sadly missed by her daughter: Sue Wheat of Greene; three sons: Gale Lee (Mary K.)

Anna leaves to join her husband Francis who died May 20, 2004, an infant son in 1945, a daughter: Kay F. Brinkman in 1949; one grandson: Allan Wheat in 1976; her parents, one sister: Eva Horn; and two brothers: Leonard Litterer and Louis Litterer.

Those planning an expression of sympathy may direct memorials to the Anna F. Brinkman Memorial Fund in care of the family, P. O. Box 460 Greene, Iowa 50636-0460.
