Bio

Ann Masset, 96, formally of Linton, entered into eternal peace on August 9, 2013 at St. Gabriel's Health Community, Bismarck. Ann Schmaltz was born June 23, 1917 in Emmons County to Joseph and Katharina (Reinbold) Schmaltz. At age 16, she moved with her family to Belle Fourche, SD. On January 18, 1937 Ann married Peter A. Masset. Ann and Peter lived in Warren and Billings, MT and moved to ND in 1941, settling on a farm west of Linton where they farmed and continued to raise their family. Ann was a busy farm wife tending to a large garden, canning and freezing her harvest. After retirement in the early 1980s, Pete and Ann moved into Linton.  They enjoyed winters in Arizona and eventually settled in Donna, TX, made numerous friends, and continued those relationships throughout the years. After Pete's death in 1993, Ann continued spending the winters with her friends in Donna for another 18 years. Ann was a member of the Christian Mothers and Linton Senior Citizens as well as the Red Hatters in Donna, TX. Ann was an avid card player of many card games and always shared this joy with her family by teaching them new games she learned from her friends in Texas. She enjoyed bowling throughout the years until the age of 90. Ann was competitive at shuffle board with her Texas friends. She had a wonderful sense of humor and always enjoyed time with her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Family gatherings were some of her greatest times and memories as she was surrounded by their love. Ann's strong faith was evident in her daily prayer. Her favorite childhood memory was walking to church daily holding her mother's hand. She was also very proud to have aunts who were nuns. During her last two years, she resided at St. Gabriel's Health Community in Bismarck where she continued to participate in group activities and touch the lives of her care partners, nurses, therapists and many other staff. She taught them games and gave and received many hugs and exchanges of compassion and humor.  e family of Ann extend a generous thank you all of her friends in Donna, TX who kept her young and adventuress and kept her warm during the cold months in ND; the staff at St. Gabriel's who loved and cared for her and gave her family peace of mind knowing she was in good hands when we weren't there; also Hospice for their support at a difficult time to give comfort and peace for our mother. Surviving Ann, and grateful to have shared her life are her seven children. Frank and Charles (Lynne) Masset all of Pueblo CO; Rose Marie (Tom) Lipp of Linton; Peter (Judy) Masset, Mandan; Marvin (Barbara) Masset, Bismarck; Michael (Alice), Pueblo, CO; and Cheryle (Kirby) Martz of Mandan. She'll be missed by her 25 grandchildren; 30 great-grandchildren and four great-great-grandchildren.
