Anna Marie Gangl, age 69, of Nashwauk passed away Friday, March 31,
2023, at Essentia Health – St. Mary’s in Duluth. She was born August 25,
1953, in Grand Rapids, MN to Joseph and Miriam (Nuorala) Facchinni.
Anna was a lifelong resident of Nashwauk. She attended Nashwauk-
Keewatin High School and later worked at the high school keeping kids
and pretty much everyone else in line for nearly three decades. She was
the ultimate sports mom and cheered louder than any other fan. Anna was
a voracious reader and always had a stack of books from the library at
hand. And she sure knew how to make people laugh. More than anything
she loved her family, and being a grandma was her world.
Anna is survived by her children, Mike Gangl, Hibbing, MN, Vince (Lucy)
Gangl, Nashwauk, MN, Amanda Gangl, Nashwauk, MN, step-children,
John (Cheryl) Gangl, Tom (Robin) Gangl Jr., brother, Chuck (Georgie)
Facchinni, grandchildren, Damon, Wyatt, Davinia, Adeline, Ava, Veronica,
Josephina, Carson, and many step-grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Thomas Gangl Sr., parents,
Miriam and Joseph, siblings, John Facchinni, Sara Anderson,
stepdaughters, Linda Patterson and Rose Moore, grandchildren, Aaron
Gangl and Jillian Plaisted. A memorial service will be held at 11am on
Thursday, April 6, 2023, at Dougherty Funeral Home in Hibbing. Visitation
