Ann passed away Monday, February 16, 2015 at CHI St. Joseph’s Health in Dickinson. Ann was born December 29, 1925, in Stark County, the daughter of Nicholas and Anna (Yesch) Schroeder. Growing up she attended country school through the eighth grade in the Lefor area. She moved to Dickinson and worked as a waitress at several restaurants. Ann married Ludwig Kadrmas in Lefor in 1944. With this union they were blessed with eleven children; Gordon, Linda, Galen, Alan, Chester, Joel, Ludwig Jr. , Bruce, Kay, Tracy, and Lisa. Together they farmed and raised their family north of Gladstone in the Hirschville area. Ann always made sure her kids were taken care of before her own needs. She raised them to be honorable, hard workers and to respect life and others around them. Her family was her pride and joy and cherished every memory with each child. She watched them grow up and raise families of their own. She waited for visits from her family and she smiled from ear to ear to see all the babies born into her world of GRAMMA. When Ludwig died in 1990, Ann loved the house they built together so much, she couldn’t leave the memories behind so she moved the house to Dickinson to live her final days. Ann loved to garden and she canned much of the produce. She will be remembered for her wonderful soups and she took pride in making sure no one ever left her home hungry. She enjoyed playing cards with her friends, entertaining company, embroidering, doing puzzles, number search, listening to old time music and her favorite country singer Alan Jackson. In recent years, her greatest hobby was her grandchildren. Ann is survived by her children, Gordon (Pam) of Mandan, Galen (special friend, Clara of Elgin), Alan (Carleen) of South Heart, Chester (Sandie) of Dickinson, Joel (Cheryl) of Bismarck, Ludwig Jr. (MaryAnn) of Dickinson, Bruce of Dickinson, Tracy (Becky) of French Town, MT, Linda Stockert of Dickinson, Lisa (Curt) Buresh of Dickinson; 23 grandchildren; 23 great-grandchildren; three great-great-grandchildren; son-in-law, Ken (Katie) Splichal of Dickinson; brother, Ed. She was preceded in death by her parents, Nicholas and Anna; husband, Ludwig; daughter, Kay Splichal; infant child; brothers, Ray and Nicholas; sister, Pauline Schultz; and infant twin granddaughters.
