Obituary of Anna Helga Davis

Anna Helga Davis, 81, of Duluth passed into eternal life on January 12, 2015 in the arms of her loving husband, David, to whom she was married for 57 years. Anna Helga Albrecht was born November 28, 1933 in Massenbachhausen, Germany, to Magdalena (Seufert) and Karl Sebastian Albrecht. She had 10 siblings, all born in a war-torn Europe during WWII. She met David, a US Army Specialist, in 1956. David and his “Annie” were married in 1957 in Heidelberg. Anna emigrated to the US in 1958. Anna and David had 6 children. They settled in Duluth in 1965 where they dairy farmed for 33 years and, afterwards, continued haying. Anna will always be lovingly remembered and will live on forever in the hearts of her family. She is survived by her husband David, her children Andrea (Clyde) Ekbom, Linda Davis-Barlau (Bob Welton), Ken (Connie) Barlau, Janet (Jim) Balduc, Arleen Parrent, David (Julie) Davis, Jeffrey (Denise) Davis, her 15 grandchildren, two great-granddaughters, and her many siblings. Anna is desperately missed by her husband David. We will celebrate her love, strength and courage through her children and grandchildren for generations to come. A celebration of her life will be held Saturday, January 17th at 3:00 pm at the Cremation Society of Minnesota in Duluth. A meal and fellowship will follow at the Thompson Town Hall, 25 E Harney Rd. in Esko. Gifts will be forwarded for use in Alzheimer’s research in honor of Anna.
