Summary

Ann Marie (Wojan) Schmidt (1961–2019) was born at Little Traverse Hospital on December 11, 1961, to Walter and Vera Wojan of St. James, and was raised on Beaver Island.

Evidence and limits

The birth notice’s parents and exact date match the 2019 obituary; the cemetery register independently records the same parentage and lifespan. The OCR’s “Wogan” rendering is retained as a source transcription variant.
