Anne Mary Homer was born on Feb. 9 1920 in Rochdale, Lancashire, England. [Note: Rochdale became part of Greater Manchester around 1974]. Her parents were Thomas and Doris (Cooke) Homer. Thomas was from Canada, and I was told that he had stayed in England after WWI, where he met Doris. They emigrated to the U.S. in 1922 when Anne was just 2, and came over on a ship called the S.S. Caronia.
After coming over from England, Anne lived and worked her entire life in North Dakota; living in Glen Ullin, Hebron, and in Bismarck. She graduated from Bismarck High School in 1938, and this is where she met her husband, Maynard Entringer. They were high school sweethearts, and married on June 30, 1941 at St. Mary's Parish Rectory (as she was not yet Catholic).
Anne worked as a secretary for her professional life. She started working for the ND State Highway Dept., and stayed there until she was hired as a personal secretary to ND Governor John Moses. From there she moved to the Bismarck office of the California Oil Co., and was a founding and charter member of the Women's Professional Employee Oil Association, "The Desk and Derrick Club." Then in 1963, she joined a local law firm as a legal secretary, and worked there until she retired in 1987.
She liked bowling, and participated in league bowling for many years. She also was a member of the VFW Ladies Auxiliary.
She became ill with Alzheimers disease, and after living for many years with this deteriorating disease, she died in her home in Bismarck on Feb. 15, 1999 with Maynard and her children at her side.
