She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Frank and Mary Domitrovich, and Leo and Dorothy Goulet; and by a former husband, Kenneth Strader; her late husband, Raymond "Butch" Hicks; and her beloved brother-in-law, aunts and uncles.

A Memorial Mass will be held on Friday, December 28, 2012 at the Holy Family Catholic Church in Ontonagon. Visitation will be at 10:00 a.m. and the Mass will follow at 11:00 a.m. EST.

Anna graduated from Ontonagon Area High School, and moved to Phoenix, Arizona, where she received her license as a Pharmaceutical Technician. She later returned to Ontonagon to live, work at the local pharmacy, and raise her family.

Anna loved literature, especially poetry. Edna St. Vincent Millay was her favorite poet, and wrote "In spite of all my love, you will arise upon that day and wander down the air, obscurely as the unattended flower, it mattering now how beautiful you were, or how beloved above all else that dies."
