After seventy-three years of being happily married to her loving husband, Donald, Ann Marie Ausman, 96, passed away on August 27, 2017, at Heritage Assisted Living in Eau Claire, WI. Ann was born in Osseo, WI, to Albert and Selma (Huskelhus) Anderson on the first of October 1920. After marrying Donald on July 8, 1944, they farmed together in the town of Wheaton near Elk Mound. Ann was a member of St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Elk Mound and active in St. Joseph’s Women’s Circle and in the Chippewa County Homemakers. She loved spending time reading, sewing, taking rides through the countryside and for dinner on Sundays and spending time with her family. She is survived by her husband, Donald; children, Barbara Pladziewicz (Jack) of Eau Claire and Patricia (Chuck) Lightfoot of Caro Michigan; granddaughters, Kathleen (Chris) Rondeau, Lori (Gary) Malmquist and Vicky (Joe) Brown; grandsons, Chris (Malyia) Pladziewicz and Tim (Erin) Lightfoot; sister, Shirley Johnson; brothers-in-law, Bill Germann, Joe (Norma) Ausman and Tom (Diane) Ausman; sisters-in-law, Lucille Ausman and Bonnie Anderson; as well as 10 great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
