Ann Marie (Wanserski) Robison

Ann M. Robison, 66, Wausau, passed away on Wednesday, January 15, 2025 at Aspirus Wausau Hospital following a three year battle with cancer.

She was born October 9, 1958 in Wausau, daughter of the late Henry and Pauline (Bembenek) Wanserski.  On June 24, 1989, she married Steve Robison at St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Wausau.  He survives.

In her younger years, Ann began her career in teaching at St. Anthony Catholic School in Athens.  She went on to teach at Newman Catholic Schools at St Therese where she taught the Sixth Grade and retired from teaching in 2020 from the Mosinee Middle School, where she taught Sixth Grade Language and Arts.  Ann made a positive impact on many of her student’s lives throughout the years and still kept in contact with some of her students.  She also enjoyed working part-time at JC Penney and Bath and Body Works in the Wausau Center Mall.

Among her favorite pastimes, Ann enjoyed playing cards, especially Sheepshead, making greeting cards and entertaining family and friends at their pool.

Most important to Ann was spending time with her family.  She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
