Obituary
MIDDLETON – Anne Lauren Ohmen, age 57, of Verona, passed away on Monday, Aug. 26, 2019, in Madison, Wis. She was born on March 16, 1962, in Madison, the daughter of Pierce and Barbara Purcell. She married the love of her life, Gregory James Ohmen, on Nov. 14, 1980, in Middleton.
Anne loved hiking, whether it be Picnic Point, Devil’s Lake or a portion of the Appalachian Trail. She also loved to bike with her sweetheart in downtown Madison to the Union, the farmers’ market, and one of her favorite rides was the Elroy Sparta Trail. Her true passion was her ability to make those around her feel good about themselves, and in so doing, made everywhere she went a better place. Most of all she loved being a wife, mother and grandmother, which she did so extraordinarily well.
Anne is survived by her husband, Gregory Ohmen; son, Christopher (Lauren Wedel) Ohmen; daughters, Nicole (Richard) Sachse and Danielle (Tyson) Hall; grandchildren, Alex, Jacob, Madeline, William, Michael and Baby Ohmen due March 2020; and her sisters, Pamela, Kathleen and Lisa. She was preceded in death by her parents.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at ST. BERNARD CATHOLIC CHURCH, 7450 University Ave., Middleton, at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 31, 2019, with Father Brian Wilk presiding. Visitation will be held at GUNDERSON WEST FUNERAL AND CREMATION CARE, 7435 University Ave., Middleton, from 3 p.m. until 6 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 30, 2019.
In lieu of flowers, the family would prefer donations to the American Family Children’s Hospital.

My dear friend. She touched my heart in ways you can't imagine. She lifted my spirits when I was down, rejoiced in my accomplishments like they were her own, listened with a patient and loving ear and most of all, loved me for all my flaws! The facebook post from 2017 says it all. I am so happy she got to spend the last years of her life doing what she wanted to do from the day I met her...taking care of her grandkids. Her family was everything to her.

Greg, to lose a true love and partner in life like you had with Anne is something that no one is ready for. When visiting you both, I could tell you guys had something very special that few couples share.
Hold onto that love and those memories you shared together. You are blessed to have your children and know they will always be there for you..
We want you to know that we are thinking about you and your family right now and how difficult this must be. I hope it gives you peace in knowing you will not be alone during this difficult time.
Anne was always caring and had a selfish nature about her, especially when it came to her family.. There is no one in this world like a mom, she will be sadly missed.
With our condolences,
Jeff and Nancy Willems
