Anna Jane Havel was born March 6, 1911 on a farm south of Cresco in New Oregon Township, the daughter of Joseph and Marie (Pecinovsky) Pecinovsky. She attended rural school through the early grades. Since there was such a large family, she had to quit school and work at various homes to make a living.

On May 22, 1934 she married Frank J. Havel at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Protivin. They made their home on a farm. In the early years, she loved to ride horses.

Anna was a member of the Holy Cross Church until it became an Oratory, then joined Notre Dame Parish - St. Joseph's Worship Center. She was a member of the Rosary Society of both parishes.

She is survived by two daughters: Janet Andera and Diane Pecinovsky, both of Cresco; seven grandchildren; 19 great-grandchildren; and one sister: Grace Roszell of Waterloo.

Anna was preceded in death by her husband Frank on January 10, 1982; one granddaughter; one great-granddaughter; her parents; three brothers: George, Ernest, and infant Eddie; and six sisters: Ida Voves, May Betts, Clara Horn, infant Frances, infant Caroline, and infant Elsie Pecinovsky.
