Anna was born on March 5, 1925, in Glen Ullin, N.D., the daughter of George and Rose (Doll) Emter. She was raised and received her education at a country school at Glen Ullin. Anna was united in marriage to Kasper Glaser on Oct. 13, 1947, in Glen Ullin. In March of 1951, Anna and her husband moved to Glendive from Dickinson, N.D., and have made Glendive their home since. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.
Anna loved playing cards and games with her grandchildren as they were growing up. She had a special bond with each of her two granddaughters and eight grandsons. Anna loved cooking German dishes as requested by her family. Her homemade bread, vegetable soup and apple pie were a special treat. Anna enjoyed her marathon phone conversations with her daughters which could last from two to three hours! Anna enjoyed spending time with her friends and always had a smile and was ready to visit with anyone as she never met a stranger. Many times, Kasper would be waiting in the van ready to leave and she would still be visiting!
A special time in Anna's life was the weekend of Oct. 13, 2007, when the family celebrated Anna and Kasper's 60th wedding anniversary - it was togetherness!
Anna was a member of the VFW Auxiliary and the Catholic Daughters of America.
She was preceded in death by her parents.
Survivors include her husband, Kasper of Glendive; her son, Jerry Glaser and his wife Corinne of Glendive; her daughters, Carol Hales and her husband Bob of Redmond, Wash., Lynette Harada and her husband Gene of Havre and Mary Jean Ellison and her fiance Dave Buck of Great Falls; her brother, Eddy Emter and his wife Eleanor of Glendive; her sisters, Alvina Metzger and her husband Ervin of Renton, Wash., and Clara Goldador and her husband Jim of Chicago; 10 grandchildren, Randy (Trish) Glaser, Jerrod (Ann) Glaser, Todd Bailey, Travis (Tonia) Bailey, Chad Bailey, Joey Bailey, Tim (Ashley) Harada, Nick (Paula) Harada, Nichole (Kevin) Portales and Shayla Ellison; five great-grandchildren, Cheyanna Portales, Calib Bailey, Hunter Bailey, Madisen Harada and Nolan Harada.
Anna will be greatly missed by her family and friends - for someone loved is never lost and she was loved so much. We love you, Mom, Grandma and Great-Grandma.
