Surrounded by her loved ones, Anne Endriss, of Los Alamitos (Rossmoor), California, passed away peacefully at her home, after a year-long battle with cancer.

During the war, Anne was active in charity work with the American Legion where she held several offices including the office of President. She worked at McDonnell Douglas until her only child Janis was born, in 1955. Anne became an exceptional homemaker, was involved in the PTA and supported her daughter's many activities. She loved music and played the piano and organ. She enjoyed dancing, playing slot machines, watching baseball, football and attending her granddaughter's sporting activities.
