STORY CITY

"It's not the length of time but the depth of life." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

Ann Marie Peterson passed away peacefully in her sleep at Israel Hospice House of Ames on November 9, 2004. Ann showed great strength of character as she bravely fought her brief battle with cancer. Services will be 2 p.m. Friday, November 12 at St. Petri Lutheran Church, 804 Grand Avenue in Story City.

 

Ann was born October 24, 1956 in Madison, WI to Dr. H.L. and Martha Self. She graduated from Ames High School in 1974 and attended Iowa State University. Ann and Greg Peterson were married on September 24, 1982 and together, they had two children, Megan (19) and Cole (10). She was employed at Mary Greely Medical Rehab and Wellness in Story City.

 

Ann's family was her greatest joy. She and Greg were their children's biggest fans at their sporting events; together, they encouraged their children's participation and success in all their endeavors. Ann found happiness in making her home beautiful and a comfortable place for her family and friends. She enjoyed golfing with her husband, reading and watching Oprah. She especially loved red roses, burning scented candles, her husband's cooking and anything chocolate. Ann held a special place in her heart for her kitties (except Missy). She will forever be a member in good standing of the FTA Group. Ann was funny, bossy and she knew-and said-what she wanted. For these reasons and more, we love her.

 

Ann is survived and lovingly remembered by countless friends and family including her husband, Greg; her two children, Megan and Cole; her mother, Martha Self of Ames; a sister, Linda (Jerry) Lindell of Arlington, TX; two nieces, Michelle (Randy) Thomas and Stacy (Daniel) Jones; a brother, Mike (Barb) Self of Martinsville, VI; and four nephews, Steven and John Self and Travis and Jared Parker. She is also survived by Greg's family, Ken and Joann Peterson and Steve, Mary, Sayer, Sam and Spencer Peterson, all of Story City; and Jeff, Jackie, Barrett, and Cameron Peterson, all of Bondurant.

 

Ann was preceded in death by her father, Dr. H.L. Self of Hico, TX, and a sister, Debra Parker.

 

Memorials may be sent to Bliss Cancer Center or the Israel Hospice House.
