East Montpelier, VT Ann Louise Kienzle passed into God's hands peacefully in her own home on Thursday February 23rd, 2012. The daughter of Richard and Louise Hartmann, she was predeceased by her husband(s) Eugene Kienzle and Erhardt Johanny. She is survived by her sister Hilda Schneider and niece Louise Smith of New Smyrna Beach, Florida; her daughter Christine Zahm and son in law Michael Zahm; granddaughter Jaime Zahm and great grandson Alexander Zahm of Montpelier, Vermont; her grandson Erik Zahm of Burlington, Vermont; great nephew Patrick Smith of Burlington, Vermont and great niece Maureen Banfield of Brooklyn, NY. Ann was born in the Bronx, New York, on December 1st, 1926. As a child she spent 3 years in Moscow, Russia with her parents. They then returned to Berlin, Germany where she resided until the end of World War II. While there she studied and graduated from Horticultural School. At the end of the war she took the first Transport steamer home to New York. In the early years of her return to this country, she worked as a nanny and met her first husband, Erhardt Johanny. In the early years of their marriage they were den parents to 20 young men at Boys Thompson in Westchester County. They then moved to Maryland's Eastern Shore where they resided for approximately six years before moving back to the Bronx (Riverdale). She then began working for Delafield Hospital, where she was in charge of the city's x-ray (radiation) monitoring service. They lived in Nyack for 8 years, before splitting up. She then met Eugene Kienzle and remarried before moving to Chestertown, Maryland for another 7 years. Afterwards they moved to Montpelier, Vermont to be near her daughter Christine, Michael and her grandchildren Jaime and Erik. Their home on Cutler Heights Road became a beautiful oasis as she used her horticultural training to vitalize their property. Besides her garden and home she delighted in her Garden Club, Bridge Club, and then in her great grandson Alexander. She has passed on her love of nature and baking. She will be greatly missed by all those whose lives she touched, but now happily resides in God's garden. A May service will be held on the Eastern Shore with another to be held this summer in her garden. In lieu of flowers, please be kind enough to make donations to Central Vermont Home Health and Hospice, the Kellogg Hubbard Library, where she put in many hours of volunteering, or the Lost Nation Theater., a company from which she derived great enjoyment.
