Anna Mae Elaine Mallory

ANNA MAE ELAINE MALLORY Born August 20, 1930; died December 2, 2024 at age 94. Anna Mae Elaine Mallory died peacefully on December 2, 2024 at age 94. Anna Mae was born in Stillwater to Henry and Ida Christensen, lived on St. Paul's East Side and then spent many years in Circle Pines, where she and her husband of 48 years, Francis (Frank) Mallory, raised their family. Anna Mae grew up during the Great Depression but always felt she had a happy childhood. She loved the farm in Stillwater, especially the animals. She never drove a car but walked everywhere, which accounted for her strong heart and long life. A genuine care-giver, she took excellent care of her husband throughout their married life, as he battled Type 1 diabetes. She loved to sing, often doing solos at church and school. She loved children and did day care for many of the neighborhood children during her years in Circle Pines. An avid reader, game player and bowler, she also loved doing jigsaw and crossword puzzles. She was a fan of John Wayne movies and an avid sports fan, cheering for the Twins and Vikings. In later years, she enjoyed traveling with her sisters on adventures from Florida to the Pacific Ocean. Anna Mae is survived by 4 children: Barbara Michel, Roger Mallory, Darlene (Gary) Hanson and Richard Mallory; 4 grandchildren: Robert Thomas (Christine) Michel, Marc (Stephanie) Michel, Paul Hanson and Andrea Fiske-Mallory; 4 great-grandchildren: Andrew (Hannah), Jacob, Aaron, and Raelynn. She is also survived by a brother, Joseph Christensen. She was preceded in death by her husband, Frank; her parents, Henry and Ida Christensen; and siblings: Henrietta Benes, Lorraine Johnson, Marie Kelsen, Doris Nelson, Luella LaValley, and Arnold Christensen. Thank you to the staff of The Shores of Lake Phalen for the wonderful care of Anna Mae through the nearly 5 years she lived there. Donations may be given to St. Jude's Children's Hospital or donor's charity of choice. Funeral will be at 11 am on December 17 with visitation at 10 am, lunch to follow. Burial will be at Fort Snelling. Arrangements are being handled by Washburn-McReavy Funeral Chapel, 515 Highway 96 West, Shoreview, www.washburn-mcreavy.com.
