Ann E. Czupryna

Ann E. Czupryna, 69, passed away peacefully on September 20, 2024, at CHI St. Gabriel's Hospital in Little Falls, MN. Born on October 27, 1954, in Palmer, MA, she was the daughter of the late Walter and Emily (Frydryk) Czupryna. Known for her kindness, grace, and compassion, Ann also contained a great sense of humor that endeared her to all. A proud graduate of Ludlow High School in 1972, she continued her education at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where she earned a bachelor's degree in Business Administration in 1976. She then went on to work as a Revenue Agent for the Internal Revenue Service for many years before retiring to Bemidji, MN.  

Her greatest happiness came from adopting retired racing greyhounds and giving them a wonderful and fulfilling life. She is survived and deeply missed by her sister, Louise Czupryna of Scarborough, ME, and her nephew, Ian Czupryna of Portland, ME. Ann also leaves behind many other family members and friends who will forever cherish their fond memories of her. 

Visitation will be held on October 3, 2024, from 8:00-9:30 a.m. at the Beers and Story Palmer Funeral Home. A Funeral Mass will follow at 10:00 a.m. at Divine Mercy Parish in Three Rivers, with burial immediately after at St. Anne's Cemetery in Three Rivers. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in honor of Ann Czupryna to Northern Lights Greyhound Adoption, located at 11247 Foley Blvd NW, Coon Rapids, MN 55448.
