Anna Mae Paprocki's Obituary
Anna Mae Paprocki, age 94 of Lewes, DE passed on Thursday, Mar 16, 2023. She was born in Perry, Kentucky, daughter of the late William and Hazel (Francis) Hall.
Anna served on the Business and Professional Women of Maryland in Prince George’s County Maryland. After retirement from the Prince George’s County Fire Department, Anna, and her late husband, Edmund Paprocki moved to Lewes Delaware in 1993. Anna and Ed were known for their Superbowl parties and Luaus.
A proud socialite and active community member, Anna stayed busy and joined as many groups as possible to include the Out to Lunch Bunch of Lewes, and various book clubs.
Her beautiful gardens evidenced her green thumb and joy for life and honest day’s work. Her family will remember her most for her skills in the kitchen and her love for dancing. Anna was always cooking, and her recipes were a staple at the holiday table.
