Anne L. (Kenne) Ostheimer, 70, of Sandusky, passed away Thursday morning, September 4, 2025, at Providence Care Center, Sandusky.

Born December 30, 1954, in Sandusky, the daughter of Richard Charles and Phyllis Anne (Reinhart) Kenne. She was a 1973 graduate of Sandusky High School and later attended Ohio Business College.

Over the years, Anne enjoyed crocheting, reading, playing cards and Bingo, but she especially loved spending time with her family. She had also played pool for "The Station House" for several years. But she was especially proud of her sobriety of nearly 40 years, as a member of AA.

Anne had been a member of First Baptist Church, involved with "Melody Makers" for a couple of years and had volunteered at Stein Hospice and the senior center in years past.

She is survived by her daughter, Nicole "Nikki" (Michael) Carpenter of Sandusky; her two granddaughters, Rowan and Gracie; sister-in-law, Tina Johnson; her former husband and best friend, Patrick Ballah; and her aunts, uncles and other relatives.

Anne was preceded in death by her parents and her husband, Anthony R. Ostheimer (2000).

It was her wish to be cremated. Family will receive friends from 1 p.m. until time of her memorial service at 2 p.m. Saturday, September 13, 2025, at First Baptist Church, 211 E. Monroe Street, Sandusky, with the Rev. Larrick Zirkle of First Baptist Church officiating.

Memorial contribu-tions may be made to Stein Hospice Service, Inc., 1200 Sycamore Line, Sandusky, OH 44870 or Erie County Senior Center, 620 E. Water Street, Sandusky, OH 44870.
