Anne R. Radditz

Anne Rose (Majcan) Radditz patiently waited almost 25 years to join her beloved Wally in the presence of God in heaven. She joins her sisters Mary, Jo and Carolyn as well as many other family members and friends who preceded her in death. She was a fighter who battled heart disease and diabetes. She was an extraordinary maker of Halloween costumes, loved crossword puzzles and used to write poems. Her chocolate brownies were spectacular and the hand written recipes she gladly gave to all will be cherished. She was a list maker, a tea drinker and always willing to give her opinion A�?? even when not asked for it.

She leaves her mark on this world in the friends and family she leaves behind. Her sister Mil Kelly is the only remaining Majcan sibling. AnnieA�??s daughter Dawn has been her primary care giver and has served as everything from medication dispenser and private transportation company to meal provider and body guard for her. DawnA�??s husband Tom Sealy was a supportive participant in her care. Her daughter Suz lives in Washington state with her husband Norm Wietting. She recalls that after her fatherA�??s death in 1988, a neighbor left a card with an Emily Dickinson poem and a single rose on the back step. It touched Annie, and is still appropriate today.

The Bustle in a House, by Emily Dickinson

The Bustle in a House

The Morning after Death

Is solemnest of industries

Enacted upon Earth A�??

The Sweeping up the Heart

And putting Love away

We shall not want to use again

Until Eternity -
