Obituary

We are sad to announce the passing of Terry (Annen) Brosnihan, our mother, grandmother, sister, friend, and longtime resident of Lee’s Summit, MO. She died at age 74 on April 2, 2023, surrounded by her family from near and far at Saint Luke’s East Hospital. She was very loved and will be missed terribly.

Terry was born in Northwood, ND, on July 7, 1948, to Donald and Virginia Annen, the third of six children. The Annen family moved to Minnesota where Terry lived out her childhood until she graduated from Bethlehem Academy in Faribault, MN in 1966.

In 1969, Terry married her former husband, Kevin Brosnihan, in Amherst, MA. They had one daughter, Bridget. They lived in Faribault, MN for several years, eventually moving to Clinton, MO in 1977 to
follow the family business, Country Kitchen.

Terry moved to Warrensburg in 1991 where she attended UCM and discovered her passion for photography; subsequently relocating to Lee’s Summit to be closer to family. Terry had a talent for
decorating and was known as an avid reader. She loved being with family and enjoyed nature, dogs, camping, swimming, boating, and dining out. We will greatly miss our family dinners with Terry.

Terry was predeceased by her parents Virginia (Natland) and Donald Annen and is survived by her daughter Bridget (Joe) Langle; grandchildren, Haley and Ethan; siblings Diana Ziesemer, Ronald (Diane)
Annen, Suzin Annen, Thomas (Cheryl) Annen, and Cynthia (Richard) Maloney; Aunt Vivian Annen; and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
