Anna Marie Brouch

Anna Marie (Dieser) Brouch, 98, of Aurora, IL passed away Saturday, May 31, 2025 at DeKalb County Rehab and Nursing Center. She was born December 29, 1926 in Aurora, Illinois. Following her graduation from East Aurora High school, Anna began working as a bookkeeper at McKee Door. When she was 21 years old she married the love of her life, Ed Brouch, and together they raised eight children. During that time she was a member of Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish and volunteered at many parish and school functions. As her children grew older Anna went back to work at Family Counseling Service where she served as bookkeeper for many years. Anna and Ed moved to Eagle River, WI for their retirement and thoroughly enjoyed their years in the Northwoods. They celebrated their 56th year of marriage there. Following Ed’s passing in July of 2004, Anna moved back to the Aurora area and became a member of Blessed Sacrament parish. Anna had a love of gardening, crocheting, and bowling, but mostly she loved spending time with her family and spoiling her grandchildren with Chex Mix and peanut butter cookies. Anna is survived by her eight children, Ed (Chris) Brouch, Joe Brouch, Jeanine Jones, Anna (Terry) Berg, Bob (Patti) Brouch, Jim (Kim) Brouch, Barb Brouch, and Carrie (Scott) Wille; one sister Barbara Day; 19 grandchildren and 32 great grandchildren.
