ANNA FRANCES GREMBOWIEC

1927-2021

Anna Frances Grembowiec, of Houston, passed away on September 16, 2021. She was 94 years of age.

Anna was born in Many, LA on June 15, 1927 as one of thirteen children to Cleve and Winnie Davis Hubley.

Anna attended Northwestern University in Natchitoches, LA in 1948. She moved to Houston working for Humble Oil and Gas Corporation. She later married John Stanley Grembowiec in 1956. They had three children Alan, Gene and Mary.

Anna was a vibrant woman who loved and served her family, her church, her community and her Lord above all else. Anna had a deep appreciation for her Catholic faith. She and her husband were actively involved in their parish at St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church.

She helped her husband John with his own materials handling business for more than 20 years.

Anna was an energetic and courageous woman. In 1975 she organized boycotts for the Pro-Life Movement to speak out for the unborn. In 1976 she organized another boycott with a major department store to speak out for decency. She stood bold and strong to be that voice of righteousness and won her case.

Anna was very connected to her Sharpstown community, planting seeds for the community future. She had a passion for neighborhood beautification projects. In the 1980’s she started the very successful “Adopt a Tree Program.” Later Anna was awarded “Citizen of the Year for the Greater Southwest Chamber of Commerce.”
