Anna Rose Ballmann

Anna Rose Ballmann of O’Fallon, MO, was Fortified with the Sacraments of the Holy Catholic Church at the age of 90 on Monday, April 12, 2021. She was preceded in death by her husband, Jim Ballmann; her grandson, Brad (Brittney) Ballmann; her parents, Edward and Carrie Gerner; and her siblings, Pat (Jerry) Aholt and Glennon "Dutch" Gerner.

Anna Rose is survived by her children, Michael (Karen) Ballmann, Dale (Patti) Ballmann, Mark (Lynn) Ballmann, and Dan (Marilyn) Ballmann; her grandchildren, Jim Ballmann, Christopher Ballmann, Dana (Darren) Pieper, Andy (Erynn) Ballmann, Teddy Ballmann, Jennifer Ballmann, Jamie (Danny) Conoyer, Jake (Kelsie) Ballmann, Taryn Ballmann, and Tori Ballmann; and her great-grandchildren, Ava, Maxx, Michael, Henry, Wyatt, Charlie, Oliver, and Maelee; her sisters-in-law, Vera (Terry) Taylor (former wife of the late Dutch Gerner) and Jane Aholt; and she was a beloved aunt, cousin, and friend to many.

Anna Rose was a parishioner of Assumption Catholic Church and a very devout Catholic who showed her deep faith through her love of praying the rosary. For many years, Anna Rose worked for O’Fallon Bowl as a cook and later worked in the bakery of the O’Fallon Ponderosa. Above everything, Anna Rose’s greatest joy was her family – especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.
