Ann E. Henricks
Ann E. Henricks, 96, of West Chester, Pa., formerly of Butler, went home to be with her Lord on Wednesday at the Neighborhood Hospice in West Chester.
She was born April 14, 1919, in Butler to the late Louis Erdos and Theresa (Henry) Erdos.
Ann was a life-long homemaker and helped manage the family farm in Slippery Rock for 20 years before moving to Meridian, where she lived until 2010. Ann enjoyed an active church life, working for many years with the St. Mark's Evangelical Lutheran Church and Sunday school and also Katie's Kitchen.
“Aunt Ann” will be remembered for her sense of humor and loving concern for others. She enjoyed meeting people and could never pass up a good yard sale. Ultimately her passion was centered on her family and friends.

(Kathy) Henricks of Marriottsville, Md.; six grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren; and one sister, Theresa Stirling of Arizona.
