Anna Martha Esser Wromar

June 12, 1926 ~ July 24, 2012
July 26, 2012
Anna Martha Esser Wromar, 86, stalwart parent and loving grandmother, passed away peacefully in her sleep on July 24, 2012, in Bonners Ferry Community Hospital.

Anna was born on June 12, 1926, in the City of Dortmund, Germany. She married the love of her life, Horst Franz Joseph Wromar on December 16, 1950. Together they raised four wonderful daughters; Gudrun, Sabine, Bettina and Sigrid.

The family moved from Germany to Canada in 1955 and from Canada to the United States in December 1960. The Wromar family thrived in Huntington Beach, California, in the 1960s and 70s.

Anna and Horst moved to Boundary County in 1980.

After her husband's untimely death in 1984, Anna moved to a retirement community in Coeur d' Alene, Idaho. Her twilight years were filled with peace and serenity as she followed her passion of analyzing stocks and managing investments. She was also an avid gardener with a knack for floral arrangements and her famous, fresh parsley. She also greatly enjoyed the outdoors.

She was a doting grandmother and loved by her friends and neighbors. Her daughters and their children remained the shining pride of her life until her passing. She was a sincere and caring person and will be sorely missed.

Anna is proudly survived by her daughters, Sigrid Caperton, Bettina Astone- Wromar and Sabine Wromar; her sons-in-law, Michael Astone, Dirk Caperton; and her four grandsons, Derek and Dylan Caperton, Michael Wromar and Zane Astone.

This obituary was written by Dylan Caperton, who is in the above photo with Anna.
