Miller
Anna was born June 10, 1928, in Meyer, Iowa, to Joseph and Katherine (Heman) Koenings. Anna was united in marriage to Ivan Mathias Miller on Oct. 17, 1946, in Meyer. In 1950, Ivan’s employment with Hormel brought them to Austin, where she lived until moving to Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota, in 2016. Anna was a longtime active member of St. Augustine Catholic Church in Austin. She enjoyed going to Mass, playing cards, listening to polka music, and getting together with friends. Anna’s greatest joy was being with her family.
Anna is survived by her children Kenny (Maggie) Miller of New Port Richey, Florida, Diane (Arol) McCaslin of Spring Valley, Minnesota, Jane (Dr. Joseph) Costa of Inver Grove Heights, Bob (Jean) Miller of Byron, Minnesota, and Mary Lou Prescher (Jim Power) of Inver Grove Heights; seven grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; sisters, Johanna Mullenbach, Bernadette Kraus and Martha Boe; sisters-in-law, Maggie Judd and Mary Ellen Miller; and nieces and nephews and other relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents; husband Ivan in 1987; and son Daniel in 2014.
