Anna Marie Yuhas (Bertalotto)
August 13, 1922 — December 11, 2014
“Straight Ahead”, Mom
Anna Marie (Bertalotto) Yuhas, 92, of Sugar Creek, Missouri, died Dec 11, 2014, surrounded by all eight of her children. Anna was born Aug 13, 1922, in Monett, Missouri, to Alex and Mary (Strick) Bertalotto. She graduated from Monett High School and worked for the Missouri Division of Employment Security in Monett. Later, she transferred to Kansas City where, at age 35, she met and married John E. Yuhas of Sugar Creek.
Upon the birth of her first child she “retired” to become a domestic engineer devoting her time to all things family. They had eight children; Johanna (Dennis), Julia (Dave), John, Michael (Renee), Bernadette (Doug), Joseph (Linda), Josephine (Chris) and Janice (Morgan). Her proudest moment was the day when she could say all her children had received a college degree. Known to her as her “little angels,” Anna and John had 19 grandchildren.
She was a “second mom“ to many and the Yuhas house always had an open-door, no-knocking-required policy for her children’s friends. Throughout her life Anna was a very kind and selfless woman who focused on her religion. She also enjoyed gardening, flowers, baking, sewing and quilting. Very large family gatherings at Table Rock Lake, St Louis, and Sugar Creek were annual events. Anna and John traveled extensively, with a highlight trip to The Vatican in 1995 where they met Pope John Paul II.
Anna was preceded in death by her husband of 57 years, John, her sister Philamine Bertalotto, and her brother Joseph Bertalotto. The family wants to especially thank Shawn, Robin, Nicole, Tina, Lori and Kim.
A visitation will be held Friday, December 19th from 5:00-8:00 p.m. at St Cyril’s Catholic Church in Sugar Creek with rosary at 7:30 p.m. A funeral mass will be held at St. Cyril’s Catholic Church on Saturday, December 20th at 11:00 a.m. Immediately after the mass the burial will be held at Woodlawn Cemetery followed by a lunch reception at St. Cyril’s church basement for all of Anna’s family and friends.
Memorial contributions can be made to the Sugar Creek food bank C.C.R.C. 103 South Sterling, Sugar Creek, MO 64054.
We are very blessed for the life she led and the examples she set. A longtime family friend said it best: “When I think about raising my family, I think about the way Anna and John raised their children. They were role models and didn’t even know it.”
Keep on smiling, Mom. We love you!!
