[N27057] Lenora A. Vincek
Sept. 27, 1937 - Jan. 6, 2021

SOUTH BEND, IN - It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Ann, our loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and friend to all whose lives she touched, on January 6, 2021. Born Lenora Ann Barnett in Franklin, Kentucky on September 27, 1937 to Lovolla and Collie Barnett, Ann was raised in Murray, Kentucky where she graduated from Murray High school and later Murray State University. While on campus, she met the love of her life, Richard (Dick) Vincek, her husband of 62 years. Ann and Dick were married at St. Matthew's Catholic Church in South Bend, September 26, 1959. Following retirement from Grissom Middle School, they enjoyed spending the winters in Sebring, Florida. Ann was an avid reader, enjoyed playing dominos and cards, loved to fish, and took pride in the sporting events of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren including recent rocket football games of Bentley, Kameron, and Tysen. Most of all, she loved her family. She was the beloved mother of Mike (Diane), Patti Penn, and Paul (Kathy), proud grandmother of Adam, Kaitlyn, Lindsay, Jared, Erin, Ashley, Josh, and Amanda; and great-grandmother of Bentley, Kameron, Tysen, and Joe. Ann was preceded in death by her parents, children Patrick and Kathy, and her brother, Ted Barnett. She will be dearly missed and forever in our hearts. A celebration of Ann's life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to Rocket Football & Cheer Inc., P.O. Box 252, Osceola, IN 46561. Palmer Funeral Home - Guisinger Chapel is assisting the family with arrangements. Online condolences for the Vincek family can be shared at www.palmerfuneralhomes.com.
