Anne’s father John Hreha immigrated to the United States from Slovakia, found work, sent a letter requesting a wife and married Anne’s mother Anna Buthkouski through an arranged marriage.

In 2012 Anne moved to Herndon, Virginia where she lived with her son Peter and his wife Jane. Anne was a kind, gentle, beautiful soul filled with love and light.
