, 2023 after a brief battle with pancreatic cancer. She was surrounded by loving family members and staff as she gained her heavenly wings. Ann was born on May 1
st
, 1952, to William and Virginia (Jean) Frank in Eau Claire, WI.
She Graduated from Regis High School in 1970 and later married Larry Kane, with whom she had her two children Jason and Shelly. She worked at Mason Shoe Company in Chippewa Falls for many years until retiring in 1994. After divorcing, she met the love of her life Richard (Rick) Przybylski and they were married in 1985.
In her younger years, Ann enjoyed the outdoors and loved camping, fishing, and the occasional snowmobiling trip with friends. She also loved spending time at the family cottage on Island Lake, WI. Some of her greatest memories were made from several fishing trips to Canada with her family. She loved to brag about and show pictures of the huge Walleye she caught while on one of her Canada trips.
Ann was always a people person and making friends was easy. She enjoyed many a weekend playing cards or shaking dice with friends and family. She had a competitive side and wasn’t afraid to gloat when the hands were in her favor. Eventually she found herself playing on local dart and pool leagues in Chippewa Falls in the 1990’s, where she made some lasting friendships. Later in life, Ann enjoyed passing the time by solving crossword puzzles, sketching, and watching her favorite TV shows and movies. She loved her family and enjoyed having visits and the occasional trips to Culver’s.
Ann is survived by her daughter Michelle Kane, son Jason (Wendy) Kane, grandchildren Jordan Geissler and Marisa (Sean) Weinfurtner, Owen Kane, great-grandchildren Bentley, Oaklyn, Adalyn, and Ronan, brothers, William (Michelean), Roger (Linda), Joseph, James (Laurie), and Steven; and sisters, Kathleen (David) Ambers, Jean (Elliot) Schlimme, Judith Wold, and Christine (John) Weigel, and many nieces and nephews.
