I was in her "Bachelor Knowhow" class at South. Amazing how she gently tamed 35 rough blue-collar boys with her kindness. I still use her omelet recipe!

Anne Floriano, aged 100, passed away on September 21, 2024, in Sheboygan, Wisconsin.

Her commitment to education left a lasting impact on countless students over the years.
Anne graduated from Hermansville High School before earning her degree from Michigan State University.
Anne was an avid enthusiast of sewing, ceramics, and later in life quilting, a hobby that not only brought her joy but also allowed her to connect with others in her community. She donated hundreds of baby quilts to Sheboygan hospitals for their NICU and made placemats for Meal on Wheels. She was a devoted fan of the Green Bay Packers.
Anne was preceded in death by her parents, Peter and Ermida Floriano, and her sisters, Frances Johnson, and Lois Bennett.

I first met Ann. when I taught clothing at North High before my son Tom was born. We worked on curriculum and she was very helpful and shared ideas. When I came back to teaching and was at South High I again had the opportunity to work with her. When I retire4d She incouraged me when joined the quilt group. That was Ann welcoming helpful and sharing.

I will always remember Miss Florian,
She was my teacher for several years at Sheboygan South High where she taught sewing, I still often think back to those days in her class. She was a great teacher to have, her kindness and patience went a long way with the students.
