Obituary of Anna McCullough

McCullough Anna Marie, born on January 3, 1937 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Anna Marie Holmquist met and eventually married Charles W. McCullough, a native of Maderia, Ohio, on June 11, 1960. Overcoming much adversity and a long period without pay, together, Ann and Charles developed a social expression enterprise called the CM Paula Company. The couple moved to Cincinnati where they settled and raised a family. As a devoted mother, Ann raised three children and was an active member of St. Gertrude's school and parish. She first volunteered in the library and soon began to bring the book's stories to life as painted murals covering the walls. Her devotion to Mary and Joseph led her to refurbishing the school's statues and led to further murals throughout the entire original school building. She is survived by her husband Charles; brothers Bill and Dan Holmquist; children Kathy, Chris and Kelly; Grandchildren Danny, Patrick and Natalie Dennin, Luke and Suzanna McCullough and Matthew McCullough due on Dec. 20, 2012. A Funeral Mass will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, November 28 at St. Gertrude Catholic Church. Visitation precedes the Mass in the Parish Center from 9:00 to 10:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, the family encourages donations to the National Parkinson's Foundation, Gift Processing Center, PO Box 5018, Hagerstown, MD 21741-5018 or at Parkinson.org.
