Mrs. Kaffenberger traveled with her husband during his time with the United States Army, living in Fort Worth, TX and Sault Sainte Marie, MI, until finally making their home in Beardstown. Anna was a loving mother and grandmother, always doing whatever she could for her family. Her only hobby was watching her soap operas and the news…never missed a day.
