Anna M. Geertsen “Aunt Iny”, 104, passed away peacefully Monday morning, August 9, 2021 at Lakeshore at Siena. Anna was born in Portage L’Prairie, Manitoba, Canada on January 10. 1917, daughter of the late William and Anna (nee.Verwey) Geertsen, (immigrants from the Netherlands).

At the age of 7 Anna moved with her family to Glen Cove, Long Island, NY. Where she attended Glen Cove School. At the age of 20 she moved again with her family to Racine, WI. When Anna arrived from New York she worked for the McLaughlan Family as a domestic. She was then employed by the Eisendrath Tannery for 20 years until it closed. Anna then went to work for Multi Products where she retired from after working for 12 ½ years.

Anna was been a faithful member of St. Joseph’s Catholic Church for 84 years. Throughout the years Anna has been an assistant Girl Scout Leader, belonged to the CYO, Daughters of Isabella, Catholic Woman’s Club and St. Paul’s Lutheran Senior Citizens group. Anna was on a bowling league for many years, she also enjoyed reading, jig saw puzzles, enthusiastic Packers and the Brewers fan. She lived a block from church and attended mass every day. In her 90’s, she thought it was time to move and enjoyed many years living at Lincoln Villas North.

Anna “Aunt Iny” will be dearly missed by her many nieces and nephews from the Kuyper family, Geertsen family and Bohn family, cousins, other relatives and many dear friends. In addition to her family, she was preceded in death by sisters and brothers: Nellie Geertsen, John Geertsen, Marie (Bernard) Kuypers, Bill (Jackie) Geertsen, Christine (Bill) Bohn and her very special cousin/sister Bert Rademacher.

A Memorial Mass celebrating both Anna and her brother Bill’s life will be held on August 17, 2021, 11:00 AM at St Joseph’s Catholic Church, 1533 Erie Street. Visitation will be at the church, 10:00AM until time of Mass. Interment will be held at Holy Cross Cemetery Hwy 32. In lieu of flowers, Memorials to St. Joseph Catholic Church or Lakeshore at Siena have been suggested.

We cannot express enough, the gratitude we have for the kind and loving care our Aunt received for the last 5 years from Lakeshore at Siena. And Thank you to Hospice Alliance for making her final days peaceful. You are now in God’s hands Aunt Iny, he has nothing left for you to do here.
