She and Alvin raised five children, Vicki (Randy) Breunig, Steve (Julie) Wipperfurth, Sandy (Gerard) Ballweg, Larry (Karol) Wipperfurth, and Tom (Pam) Wipperfurth.  They were blessed with nine grandchildren, Corey (Mary Jane Connor), Chris (Carolyn) and Nikki Uselman, Carlie (Zack) Pataska and Alex (Micky) Wipperfurth, Daniel (Lisa) Ballweg and Allie (Dane) Jensen, Brianna (fiance Dan Schwartz) and Bethany Wipperfurth, and nine great grandchildren, Collins Uselman, Dexter, Calvin and Leona Uselman, Tyson and Donnie Ballweg, Ivy, June and Beau Jensen, all of whom she loved dearly.

Ann grew up with nine siblings. Surviving her are Stan Breunig, Phil (Pat) Breunig and Alan (Diann) Breunig, Patricia Paska and Mary Olson. She is also survived by her in-laws Nancy Wipperfurth, and Helen and Ronnie Meinholz, along with countless nieces and nephews, who she loved seeing and hearing from, as well as many many cousins.

Preceding her in death was her husband Alvin, daughter Vicki, granddaughter, Anna Lee Ballweg, son in law, Steve Uselman, her parents Clarence and Bernice, her parents-in-law Werner and Florentina Wipperfurth, along with her siblings and in-laws, Cordella (Corky) and Duane Cook, Stella and Richard Dresen, Roger and Phyllis Brumm, Clarence (Butch) Breunig, Mary Ann Breunig, Ron Paska, Chuck Olson, Robert and Mae Wipperfurth, Sylvester and Arlene Wipperfurth, Leo and Joan Wipperfurth, Jerome (Gus) and Gloria Wipperfurth, Pat and Don Swingle, Ray and Shirley Wipperfurth, Delores (Lolly) and Bernard (Dick) Frey, and Joe Wipperfurth.

Ann was employed as a cook at St. Aloysius School from 1987 to her retirement in 2016. She loved the people she worked with as well as the children.  Ann enjoyed spending time with her family, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, as well as coloring (filling hundreds of books), listening to her scanner, doing her "neighborhood watch", shopping at Vinney's, going to the annual Sauk City Fire Department parties and picnics, cookie baking with family, Wippmas Bingo, and until recently, Sunday breakfast with her siblings, and driving around town to "put some miles on the car."

The family would like to thank the staff at Sauk Prairie Memorial Hospital for the care they gave Ann her last few days and to Dr. Tom Varley for many years of care and kindness.

"To my children and grandchildren - Be not sorrowful that I am gone, and my earthly life is done. Be not sad I passed away. For in you, my children, I live each day. There is a little of me in all of you. In each new one I Iive anew. So you see, I'll never be really gone as long as there are children to carry on. I've had my share of love, sorrow and strife; I have lived a full and fruitful life. So do not mourn and do not weep, for I have earned this peaceful sleep."
