Anne Iola Howard was born in Moundville, Missouri on January 12, 1912 to Thomas and Anne (Howard) Howard. She graduated from East High School in Des Moines and later attended State Teacher’s College (UNI) in Cedar Falls where she earned her teaching certificate. Anne taught country school in Scott Township, Madison County until her marriage to Joe Utsler which took place on January 9, 1933 in Bethany, MO. After her marriage, Anne was a supportive farm wife helping Joe run the family farm as well as keeping house and raising her four children, Donna, Rex, Larry and Russ.
Anne was a member of the First United Methodist Church of Winterset, as well as a member of the Pythian Sisters Winterset Temple #105. She was also involved with several church and community clubs over the years and was a member of the Red Hat Ladies. As a farmwife, Anne often made many meals and was an excellent cook as well as a baker. She also was a fine seamstress, loved to embroider and enjoyed drawing but most of all she was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother who loved nothing more than the times she would spend with family.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 67 years, Joe who died on September 10, 2000; a son-in-law, Elmer Deatsch; a grandson, Chuck Deatsch, a grandson-in-law, J. D. Wildin and her five siblings, Orville, Inez, Esther, Virgil and Russ.

We are so sorry to hear about Great-Aunt Anne. Gail really enjoyed the visit we was able to have with her, a few years ago, and to see her this year at the reunion. Due to time constraints, (my Boss), we will have to make the funeral only this time. Will see everyone tomorrow. Jim and Gail Mincks.

Donna,Larry,Russ and Rex - You have our deepest condolences for the loss of you mother and our favorite Aunt. Jan and I always enjoyed the opportunity to visit her when we were visiting home. We are extremely glad to have visited with her this past August at Tom Hartshorn's wedding. Auntie Anne was a tremendous individual and I will always have fond memories of her. Loved all those delicious pies she use to make. Sorry that we can not be there for the funeral, but we are not able to get loose from our teaching at this time. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you on this day of celebration of Auntie Anne's new life.
