Anna Mae Rollo, 75, Little Chute. Ann passed away at home with her loving family by her side following a courageous battle against cancer. Ann was born in Montpelier, WI on November 3, 1936 to the late Joseph A. and Lena (Vickman) Rabas. She married Richard Rollo on September 26, 1959 at St. Josephs Church in Pilsen. Ann's heart of gold lead her to utilize her many talents. She was a longtime member of St. John Nepomucene where she dedicated her services through her active involvement with funeral luncheons and communion distribution. Ann also extended her generosity through the community with Meals on Wheels and volunteer work at Parkside Care Center and St. Paul Manor. Family birthdays were always special with her perfect Angel Food cake with buttercream frosting. Whether it was as a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother, a grandma, a great grandma, or a friend, Ann will mostly be remembered as always seemingly knowing just what to do. She will be deeply missed by all who have been touched by her warm, fun-loving spirit and generosity.
