The life of Samuel Thurman Hays
(The third son of Margaret & Raymond Hays)
"ANNE GENEVIEVE HAYS"
Anne G. Hays, . 85, joined our Lord on November 11, 2022. Born in St. Joe, FL, on January 12, 1937,
she lived most of her life sharing and helping others in this community.

Anne went to school at Sacred Heart, and was taught by nuns, including Sister Mildred, whom she loved dearly.
While a young girl, she would help take care of elderly family members with love and compassion.

Anne and her husband, Samuel, dated for two years, and then got married on October 30, 1956.
They shared a beautiful marriage of 66 years, and shared this love with their eight children,
four boys and four girls, of whom she was always proud.

When Anne would talk to strangers, she never failed to tell them about her eight amazing children.
As Anne grew older, she continued to help new mothers with their newborn babies while they recuperated.
One milestone in her life was the care she gave her mother when she needed it most.
Often, she would visit those she knew were ill and go to visitations for those who recently passed away
to comfort the families and let them know she would pray for them.

She was a talented baker and chef, gardener, and seamstress.
She would get the most joy out of these hobbies and talents when she could share them with others.
She was known to bake delicious wedding cakes for couples, free of charge. If you heard a knock at your door,
it may have been Anne stopping by to say hello, giving you something she made, and seeing how everyone was doing.
She loved to visit with friends and family.

Anne was also a proud believer in the Catholic Church. Rarely missing Sunday mass, and often going to daily mass.
She was a firm believer in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and was devoted to prayer. She always kept at least one rosary in her pocket.
Once again, if there was an opportunity to give one to someone, she would. She also loved to sing Gospel music.
Anne had a beautiful heart and soul, a strong giving spirit, and everyone who met her could not help but to love her.

She will be greatly missed by her friends and family.

She is survived by her husband of 66 years, Samuel Hays;
along with eight children, Louise Seifert (Mark), Allan Hays (Elizabeth), Becky Hays, Marvin Hays,
Harry Hays (Kathleen), John Hays, Betsey Saut (George), and Sandra Hays (Jamie).

She is survived by her siblings,
Joe Blommel (Joann), Ted Blommel (Birgit), Billy Blommel (Sweetie), and
Louise Scharber (Alan); sisters-in-law, Reba Blommel, and Donna Blommel.

Also, by her grandchildren,
Marie Tower (Chad), Matthew Seifert, Rachel Hays, Sarah Hays, Nathan Hays, Terrence Caselnova,
Stephen Caselnova (Melissa), Taylor Hays, Josh Hays, Christopher Hays, Branden Hays, Jamielyn Melendez (Daniel),

Also, by her great-grandchildren,
Rowen Seifert, Rileigh Caselnova, Kimber Caselnova, Jericho Hays,
Grayson Hays, Jayden, Josiah, Jillian Melendez, Leighton Hays, Axel, and Enok McIntyre.
She is also survived by many beloved nieces, nephews, and cousins.
