Anna Klase

Mrs. Anna Corcoran Klase of Storrs, passed away peacefully at Douglas Manor in Windham. She was 89 years old. The eldest daughter of the late Nellie D. LaBonte of Storrs, Anna was born in New London on January 19, 1924. She lived and worked in Storrs for the past 60 years retiring from UCONN in 1989. Anna was an avid Red Sox fan, living long enough to understand they had won their third world series since 2004 when they broke their 86 year long losing streak. She also loved her "Uconn Girls" and looked forward to the season opening. Anna, fun loving and outgoing was loved by all who met her and known as "Auntie" by most. Her circle of friends spanned three generations. In addition to her mother, Anna was predeceased by her step father, George LaBonte of Storrs, her brothers Joseph Corcoran of Storrs, and Charles Corcoran of Mansfield Center, and her sister Alva Rogers of North Windham.
