IN LOVING MEMORY

On Tuesday, July 25, 2006 Altrusa International, Inc. of Columbus, GA lost one of our own. Anne Pergl passed away after suffering a brain aneurysm.

Anne had been a member of Altrusa International, Inc. of Columbus, GA since 1987 and was currently serving a second term as President.

Anywhere Anne went she brought joy, happiness, and excitement. She began many programs and many partnerships for the club. She was a teacher, and encourager, and always full of life. She will greatly be missed.
