Anona A. Moeser
Anona A. Moeser, 95, Sister Bay, died Wednesday, May 1, 2002. She was born Jan. 19, 1907, in Green Bay, to Charles and Amanda Moeser. Anona graduated from West High School in Green Bay, attended Marquette University, and was awarded a nursing degree from Columbia Nursing School in Milwaukee. She left Green Bay in 1930 never to return except for visits. She was launched on an adventurous career that would take her to more than 30 different countries and through two wars. For the next decade Girl Scouting became her life, in Pueblo, Colo., and Richmond, Va. In 1943 she went to New York City to join the American Red Cross. Arriving in England, she was an RC girl with a helmet on her head and a canteen on her hip; first assignment — to make a service club out of an abandoned garage in Bedford, England. When the war ended in May, 1945, Anona was in Marseille. She had been all over France on — assignments, opening up service clubs and organizing recreational services. Next came Marburg, Germany, where she opened another service club. She was in Heidelberg when the Red Cross decided to turn entertainment and recreation over to the military’s special services. The same year, 1947, the Air Force became a separate service and Anona stayed with her fly boys. Six months later, after a short R and R, she was bound for Japan where she took over the service club at Yokota, then on to Itazuke. After two short tours in the US at Altus, Oklahoma, and Castle AFB, California, in 1966 she was back in Fuchu, Japan, for her last assignment with the Air Force. In 1972, she retired from the Air Force, but not from life, as she returned to England, making London her home for the next 24 years. She traveled all over the world, made countless friends, and was honored in 1995 by NBC-TV at the 50th anniversary of VE Day in Cambridge, England. At the insistence of her family, she finally came home to Sister Bay in 1996 at the age of 89. Survivors include her sister, Lois Bungener, Sister Bay; sister-in-law, Rosalie Moeser, Potomac Falls, Va.; nieces Betty Dave Chomeau, St. Louis, Mo., Susie Skip Samson, Sister Bay; nephew Chris Kirsten Bungener, Ephraim; cousin Dorothy Murphy, Shawano; nieces, Vicki, Michelle, Robin, and nephew, Chuck, all of Virginia; grandnieces and nephews; and her extended “family” and friends all over the world. She was preceded in death by her parents and brother, Ralph Moeser, and two of his daughters, Melody and Wendy. A memorial service is being held at 2 p.m. Monday, May 6, 2002, in the chapel, Delmar Dahl officiating, at Scandia Village Good Samaritan Center, where Anona had resided for her last years.
