Wanted to express my sympathy to the Kovalcik family. We grieve on earth but heaven rejoices and we will too one day. Know we care. Todd and Deb Burrus
Anne and I met at the Methodist Church in Eureka Springs, Ar in 1984. We were Sunday school teachers. Thus began our friendship. Even though I was a gypsy moving about the country we remained close. She and John were a large part of my life.I will miss her. Wait at the gate for me Anne! Judy
I met Anne in college and we became close friends. We traveled together while in school and I was a bridesmaid in Anne and John's wedding. Our families stayed in touch when the children were young but then we lost touch. More recently Anne and I have connected and we took a trip to Nashville and we went to the "Grand Old Opry". We also went back to Illinois Wesleyan University for a 50th year reunion for me but we were unable to go the following year for Anne due to her health issues. I know she was disappointed. We loved our time together. I will truly miss her and her beautiful spirit! My deepest condolences to all of her family and friends. Sincerely, Susan Kiser
I remember the last Loyd family reunion at Charlie and Memra Surles house in Summertown, TN. We played an “auction game” where comical items were auctioned off and paid for with “play money.” Anne, Andrew, John, Peggy and all the family had a lot of laughs and fun times playing this. Anne and Andrew stayed with me while here.
I've lost a precious friend to physical death, but will never lose the memories of times shared (good and bad) with Anne. There has never been a more selfless, giving and unconditionally-loving person than Anne Kovalcik. I am a privileged person to be able to say, "Anne? --- yes, she was my good friend."
Anne Kovalcik was the embodiment of selflessness. She was called to serve others and to be a steadfast parent to her children. Her generosity to all who knew her was boundless and she exemplified kindness. Her demeanor was always calm and happiness and she faced life's challenges with straightforward practicality and common sense. She wanted for nothing but for the health and well being of her husband and children and the communities she served. I am grateful to have known her and to have shared laughter and friendship. May she rest in peace. Jan Brooks
