STACK, ANNA
Anna knew no strangers and believed that you should always give everyone a little compliment. Working outdoors in her garden was a lifetime passion. There was never a hungry person, bird or animal that she did not feed.
Anna was the youngest of nine children, and was born on Oct 29, 1920, in a log cabin on a farm near Compton, in Northwest Arkansas. Her parents, Frank Perme and Mary Hribar-Perme, were immigrants from Slovenia who met in Kansas. Each morning, Anna had a 3 mile walk to attend class at a one room schoolhouse in Boxley.
Waitressing in Kansas at the International Grill was her first job. During World War II, she worked assembling aircraft engines at Buick Aviation in Chicago. There she met her husband of forty-three years, Joseph E. Stack. After their marriage in 1945, they relocated to Arizona, where she devoted her life to raising her four children, Jeannette, Terry, Josie, and Joseph Jr. In Phoenix, she also enjoyed working at Motorola for nearly twenty years. In addition to her children, she is survived by two grandchildren: Jeff Strange (Beth) and Jennifer Tesdall (Robert), and two great grandchildren: Amanda and Samantha Strange.
She passed away peacefully on Tuesday, March 30th, 2021 at the age of 100, a valuable antique. She will be profoundly missed by all those who knew her. Always optimistic, never negative, she touched many lives with her kindness, humor, and ready smile.
Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, April 7th at 10:30am at St Thomas the Apostle Church, 2312 E. Campbell Ave, Phoenix, 85016. Interment immediately following at St. Francis Cemetery, 2033 N. 48th St, Phoenix, 85008.

So sorry to read of your mother’s passing. Praying for you at this time
Anna was my beloved Other Mother. She had a way of making you feel you belonged to her family. I will be forever grateful for the love she gave me. She fed me often and not just with food! She made my first maternity dress. She cut my hair. I’m at a loss to say more and there is so much more. Thank you, God, for the gift of her in our lives.
My heartfelt condolences to all her family.
What a joy it is to have known Aunt Annie. She was a delight. Her visits back to Arkansas always brought out the cousins to see her. She was quite a dancer. I never heard her say a single negative thing about anyone. My sincere condolences to the family. She will be missed in Arkansas.
We’re so sorry to hear of your grandmother passing. But what a fine life she made. She left you with many wonderful memories. May you and your family share some peace now .
God Bless.
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of DEAR SWEET ANNA. She was one of a kind and will be missed terribly, I will never forget her, she was thought of as a second Mom to me. With all of my LOVE, Sandy Juszkiewicz
