Obituary of Anna Mae Gratz

Gratz?Anna Mae nee Moffett of Woodbury on January 22, 2007. Aged 85 years. Born in Philadelphia, PA, Anna Mae was a resident of Philadelphia prior to moving to New Jersey in 1985. She was a clerk for Sears in Philadelphia for many years prior to retiring in 1984. In her spare time, Anna Mae enjoyed traveling, especially to the shore, crocheting and was an avid reader. She also loved to dance and performed at the St. Matthew RC Church?s talent shows. Anna Mae loved animals and it was only fitting that in mid December when Anna Mae had a fall at her apartment late one night, that her neighbor?s dog, Precious Bailey was the one to hear her cries for help. It was Precious Bailey?s cries that woke her owner and Anna Mae was then rescued. Anna Mae will be remembered as a strong willed and kind hearted woman who always said what was on her mind. She will be sadly missed.
