Julia Anne Wallace age 90 passed away at Villa Maria, Mulvane, on January 11, 2017. She was born to Mable and Ray Durham on August 10, 1926 in Calaway County in Fulton, MO.

She was working for the Union Pacific railroad when she met and married Delbert Wallace on April 6, 1947. They then started out their life together running the hotel coffee shop in Minneapolis. Then they went into farming in the Barnard area. In 1976 Anne and Delbert moved to Cawker City where Delbert worked for the city until he retired. Health issues brought them back to Minneapolis where they had started their life journey together and as Anne once said "we have come full circle, back to our beginnings." Anne was involved in the senior center in both Cawker City and Minneapolis. She was also always involved with her community wherever she lived. Anne opened her home to everyone and always made you feel welcome. She made sure everyone had plenty to eat and a place to sleep. Her heart was open and full of love for all. She was always willing to help out any one who was in any kind of need too.

Anne was preceded in death by her husband Delbert, her mother Mable and father Ray Durham, her siblings: John, Bill, Raymond, Claude Durham and Linda Loy.
