The Ionia Sentinel-Standard, date unknown
Anne L. Reuther, 69, of Woodland, went to be with her Lord late Thursday 
evening, April 10, 2003 after a long struggle with cancer.  Anne was born in 
Kalamazoo on March 25, 1934 to Sterling and Hilda (Bishop) Zerbel.  She 
graduated from Hastings High School in 1951 and married Carl Curtis on July 5, 
1951.  Together they raised five daughters.

Anne loved her family and spent many enjoyable hours involved in artistic 
activities, including painting, drawing and decorating.  Raising a large 
family meant many joys, including her love for God and devoting her life to 
his service.  She had been a longtime member of the Zion Lutheran Church, 
where she was very involved with church music.  She and her daughters loved to 
sing and often sang in their church, as well as many other places.

Anne had been a bus driver for 30 years for the Lakewood Public Schools.  Anne 
married Duane Reuther on June 14, 1984.  For the past six years they had made 
their home in Deming, New Mexico with the many friends they had made, and then 
returned to the Lake Odessa area for the summers.

Anne is survived by her loving husband, Duane F. Reuther; her daughters, 
Karlene (John) Richmond of Hudsonville, Elizabeth (Joel) Willette of 
Clarksville, Laurie (John ) Collins of Sunfield, Rebecca (Edward) Tuinstra of 
Wayland, and Lucinda (Daniel) Darby of Bloomfield, New Mexico; mother Hilda 
Zerbel; stepchildren, Steven Reuther, and Linda (Bill) Young; brothers, 
Kingsley (Mary Lou) Zerbel and Herman (Lynda) F. Zerbel II; sister-in-law, 
Joanne (William) Mussleman; 19 grandchildren; 17 great-grandchildren and 
several soon to be; and many other loving relatives and friends.  Anne was 
preceded in death by her father, Sterling Zerbel, and her sister Kay.

Visitation will be from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. today and from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. 
Sunday at the Koops Funeral Chapel in Lake Odessa.  The funeral service will 
be held at 11 a.m. Monday, at the Zion Lutheran Church.  Burial will be in 
Woodland Memorial Park.

The family has suggested that memorial contributions may be made to the Zion 
Lutheran Church, Barry Community Hospice, or the American Cancer Society.
