Funeral services were held on Tuesday, January 20, at the Immanuel Lutheran Church in rural Titonka, with the Rev. Arlen Lloyd officiating. Burial was in the church cemetery, with the Petersen Lund Funeral Home in charge of the arrangements.

Anna A., the daughter of Ernest and Helene (Boyken) Senne, was born on a farm near Woden, on August 22, 1912. She was baptized and confirmed at the Immanuel Lutheran Church in rural Titonka and was a lifetime member there. She received her education in rural school near her home. On February 20, 1935, she was united in marriage to Clarence H. Attig. The couple made their home on a farm near Woden their entire married lives.

Anna was active in her community, serving as a 4-H Leader and involved with the PTA in the school. She enjoyed cooking and baking for her family and loved to crochet, making afghans and quilts for family and friends. She was active in circle at Immanuel Lutheran and treasured time celebrating with friends in her Birthday Club. She liked watching her grandchildren and great-grandchildren compete in sporting events and enjoyed her favorite teams playing basketball and baseball on TV. Clarence passed away in 1989 and Anna remained on the farm until moving to her home in Forest City in 1992. Due to failing health, she entered the Good Samaritan Center in Forest City in September 2001.
