Anna Clara Kadish, age 57 of Westville, Ind., passed away Friday, June 8, 2012 at her home.

She was born June 19, 1954 in Indianapolis, Ind., to Eugene L. and Betty L. Edwards Piers, both of whom preceded her in death.

On June 19, 1971 in Hobart, Ind., at St. Bridgett’s Catholic Church, she married Victor H. Kadish, who survives in Westville.

She is also survived by her children Tiffany (John) Speerbrecker of San Francisco, Calif., Ryan (Elizabeth) Kadish of Westville and Travis (Jessica) Kadish of Westville, along with her grandsons Noah and Isaac Kadish of Westville.

Anna is also survived by a sister Diana Klecka of Westville; brothers Ronald Piers of Anderson, Ind., Michael (Dawn) Piers of Florida, Vincent (Denise) Piers of Arizona and Jerry (Amy) Piers of Portage, Ind., and many loving family and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents, step-father John Wight and brother Brian Piers.

Some activities she enjoyed were riding her Harley Davidson, Lucky #7, spending time with her pets, working in her garden, taking photos and spending time with her grandsons, family and friends at the pool. Every morning for breakfast she went to her favorite restaurant, The Green Way Café. Her daughter’s interest and involvement with horses led her to love that particular animal. Anna along with her husband Vic enjoyed boating on Lake Michigan and Pine Lake. Although she is gone, she will never be forgotten.
