**A Tribute to Anna Kretzer**

On January 8, 2025, the world lost a remarkable woman, Anna Kretzer, who passed away peacefully surrounded by love and gratitude. Diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2020, Anna faced her condition with unparalleled courage, resilience, and determination. She refused to let the diagnosis define her, continuing to embrace life fully and inspiring everyone around her with her strength and positivity.

Anna was a true athlete at heart, and even as her illness progressed, she found joy in her favorite activities—playing golf, hitting the pickleball court, and bowling alongside friends and family. She approached every challenge with her trademark tenacity and a spirit that never wavered.

Above all else, Anna treasured her family. She leaves behind her devoted husband of 42 years, Michael Kretzer, who stood steadfastly by her side, and her beloved daughter, Anne-Michael Kretzer, whom she adored beyond measure. Anna often expressed her deepest gratitude for Anne-Michael, whose love and support were a source of immeasurable strength and pride.

Anna’s life was a testament to living with grace, humor, and an unshakable love for those around her. She will be remembered as a bright light in the lives of all who knew her—a woman who faced every moment, even the difficult ones, with bravery and a smile.

While her passing leaves an ache in our hearts, her legacy of love, laughter, and resilience will continue to inspire all who were fortunate enough to know her. Rest in peace, Anna. You will be deeply missed but forever celebrated.
