Anne Rosemary Fansler died on September 18, 2008 at Madonna Towers Community Living in Rochester, Minnesota.
Viewing was at Macken Funeral Home, Rochester, Minnesota, Sunday, September 21, 2008. The church service was held at Emmanuel Baptist Church, Rochester, at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, September 22, 2008, with Rev. Kevin Binkley officiating. Interment service was at 1:30 p.m. at Fort Snelling National Cemetery, Minneapolis, Minnesota on Monday.
Anne Rosemary was born to Slovenian immigrants Joseph and Mary Micketts on March 28, 1921 in the home that her father built at 1816 West First Street, Eveleth (Clinton Twp or De Forest), Minnesota.
She had been a resident of Fontaine Towers for 10 years until recently. She had fought a courageous battle with ovarian cancer and breast cancer since 2001 (two different types of cancers) until the time of her death. She was a devoted daughter, aunt, mother and grandmother and has left a deep impression on everyone who knew her. Anne enjoyed reading her Bible, helping others in need, being outside and taking walks and listening to the birds. She will be remembered most for her love of family and church, her kindness and generosity and her welcoming manner. She will be missed greatly and fondly remembered by all who knew her. Anne was a very energetic woman, walking daily until one week as her health would no longer allow. She loved to wait on tables and take care of people. She had an endless "prayer list." With moving to many states with her family, she has enjoyed the company of many wonderful people world wide.
Anne Micketts grew up in Eveleth and graduated in 1939 from Eveleth High School and attended Eveleth Junior College for a year and a half. In 1941, before the war broke out, she went to live with her brothers in Chicago. She found work with Sears in the catalog order department. On December 8, 1941, the day WWII started, she said the orders abruptly stopped and she lost her job with Sears. She then went to work for the Bendix Aviation Corporation, making carburetor parts for the aircraft during the war. It was during this time that she met her first husband Raymond Anthony Dasko. They were married on August 1, 1942 at Holy Family Catholic Church, Eveleth, Minnesota. They divorced in 1944. He died January 9, 1963. On August 6, 1948, she married Ira Edward "Ed" Fansler in Evanston, IL. He died May 26, 2003.
No matter where she lived she knew the importance of a close relationship with God and her Savior and tried to follow Christ's teachings. Her Lord was very important to her and it showed in her life. She taught Sunday school for 4th and 5th graders for many years. She remembered them fondly and spoke of them often. She volunteered actively in her church and her community.
She is survived by her three children: Jeanine A. (John B.) Walls; Ronald E. (Margaret nee: Fultz) Fansler and Jimmy D. (Brenda nee: Zerwas) Fansler.
Ten grandchildren, John T. (Kimberly nee: Kotz) Walls; Kenneth E. Walls; Colleen A. (nee: Walls) (Troy) Taubman; Kyle (Andrea nee: Schwinke) Fansler; Kurt (Jill) nee: Linnenbringer) Fansler; Keenan and Kaleb; Sabrina (nee: Fansler) (Justin) Buehring; Dustin Fansler and Jaclyn Fansler.
Nineteen great-grandchildren, Naomi (Kevin) Davis; Cassandra (Joshua) Chavis; Alexander Ondler; Kenneth R.; Marie; Margaret; Mary; Brandon; Kaitlyn and Cortney Walls; Zachary; Andrew and Kayla Taubman; Evan; Emerson; Hunter and Addison Fansler; Zoey and Austin Buehring. And two great-great-grandchildren: Thomas and Kyle Davis.
She was preceded in death by her husbands, parents, one sister, Mary Agnes Vesel and three brothers, Joseph Mark, Frank William and John Joseph "Larry" Micketts and numerous nieces and nephews.
Note: Some records for Anne are listed under Mikec.
The last name of Mikec was changed to Micketts when the children's school teachers in Eveleth spelled it the way it was pronounced.

GRANDMA
Grandma, where do I even begin?
The memories keep flooding in…
I remember when I was a little girl…
You’d watch as my baton I would twirl
You taught me the states from the west to east coast
All the capitals I knew…I could boast
Teaching us Bible stories and verses
Praying for each of us against Satan’s curses
Playing cards and Scrabble
The hours you listened to me babble
The Aquatennial parade and Milk Carton Race
Your joy was the smile on my face
You taught me how to dip Dilly Bars
Sitting on the Dairy Queen hill counting train cars
The many, many walks
to the beauty shop and K-Mart
Walking down the big hill to the neighborhood park
My dreaded teenage years…
I’m sure brought you to tears
You tried so desperately to get me to do laundry
I’m sorry I put you in such a quandary!
As I’ve grown older
My love for you has gotten bolder
The memories I have of each year
I will hold close to my heart so dear
I’m blessed to have you as my Grandmother
You could never be replaced by another
God had His perfect plan
He gave me an AWESOME Grandma Anne!
