Annarose O'Leary Shea died at 10PM in Butte, America. Her son Bill was at her side-ten minutes late.. In her short time there, she made many new friends, who have honored her with words of symapthy, tears, and regret.
Anna Rose was born on August 7th, 1915 in Anaconda , the 9th of 11 children who survived to James and Exilda ('nee Beausoleil) Her midwife was Mrs.CJ Miller.
Annarose came from a close-knit Irish-French family, and was proud to have carried their names: Dan,John,Margaret, Mary, Pat, Francis (Pee Wee) Agnellus, and Emmett into the 21st Century.
Annarose was predeceased by her husband of 62 years, Bill, and baby daughter, Suzanne; and is survived by three children Bill ("see, Billy, you're never on time for anything") Francie, and the most well-known, Anthony Emmett Paul Shea.
Mom's greatest pleasures in life were her great-grand daughters Shea Marie, Johanna Rose, Audrey (Putsy), Macy, Annie, and one great grandson, Sam-Forsbergs and Matosiches, as well as her two step grandchildren Deva, and John.
Her other great happiness' were watching the leaves on her weeping Birches as the Anaconda High School students went back and forth during the day, and being a bowler and a sub for the Senior Center Pinochle games.
Mom was an iridescent combination of garroulous sociability and extreme shyness.
She never wanted to leave, but we think she had some help in the crossing.
