Anne Marie Stallman

Anne Marie Stallman, 95, residing in South Bend, Indiana, passed away Wednesday, November 17, 2021 at Center for Hospice Care – Raclin House.

She was born on August 5, 1926 to Cyrus H. Clements and Bertha (Mais) Clements, who both preceded her in death.  Anne grew up summer camping, fishing and swimming with her loving parents. She cherished her lifelong memories of times spent with numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.

Anne married Edward M. Stallman who also preceded her in death.  Anne was a devoted mother, grandmother and great grandmother.  She loved to spend time at a family cottage  and travelled to Idaho to enjoy hiking, snowmobiling and mother nature with her son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren.  She enjoyed gathering the family for holidays, birthdays and other celebrations of life.  She loved word board games and cards.  Anne always had a book to read and proudly collected her favorite cookbooks as well as classic literature.  As a high school English and Journalism teacher she loved teaching Shakespeare, Hemmingway and many others.  Anne enjoyed her students at several area schools throughout the years including Family Children’s Center and Riley where she also taught journalism.  Anne was happy when she put her creative skills to use as an advertising copy writer early in life for Wyman’s and then later for local furniture stores including Radio Furniture Mart, Levy’s and Ries Furniture.

Anne is survived by her daughter, Pamela Stallman of Lawton, Michigan; her son, Marc Stallman of South Bend and grandchildren Hunter (Las Vegas), Emily and Renee (south Bend); her son and daughter-in-law, Robert and Kathleen Stallman of Idaho Falls, Idaho and grandchildren, Jennifer (Dave) Sassaman of Idaho Falls, Robert (Joanne) Stallman of Nashville, Tennessee, and John Stallman of Hawaii; and her six great-grandchildren.
