They made their home on the farm north of Solen in 1954. Here they raised their seven children. They lived on the farm until their retirement in 1993, and then moved to Mandan.

Anna was a devoted farm wife. She kept herself busy with planting a large garden every year. She also had many hobbies which included sewing clothes for her kids, cake decorating, and making wedding flowers. Anna made the cake and flowers for most of her children's weddings. She made quilts for each of her children and each grandchild received a quilt at their graduation. After most of her kids were grown, Anna drove bookmobile for Sioux County.
