Annie Mae Wentworth returned home on June 5, 2023 to be with her father, William (Bill) Nielsen; mother, Signe Rising Nielsen; brother, Robert and sister, Lily Victorine.

Annie was born on March 31, 1930 in Grizzly Bluff (Ferndale). She was the third child of Bill and Signe and was later joined by her sister, Betty. In 1938 the family moved to Loleta, where she spent all her growing up years working hard on the ranch and playing with her sisters and brother. They were all active in 4H growing up and enjoyed the friendships made there. She graduated from Fortuna High in 1948 and then moved to Sacramento to work for the State. It was there she met her husband, Herbert Wentworth. They were married in a double wedding with her sister Betty on January 14, 1951 in Ferndale.

Annie and Herbert had three sons; Michael, Richard and John. They lived in various places in Humboldt County before eventually settling in Ukiah for many years. When the marriage ended, Annie and the boys moved back to Fortuna where she lived for the last 50 plus years of her life.

Annie was active in the Danish (Valhalla) and Swedish Lodge and was proud to be a lifelong member. She loved Bingo, Gardening and being with her sisters and family. She loved family get-togethers.

Annie is survived by her sister, Betty Harper, and her three sons; Michael, Richard (Rick) and John (Diane Letner). Three Grandchildren; Michael, Kirsten, and Justin (Rachelle) and six great-grandchildren. Many nieces and nephews who have fond memories of visiting with her. We love you Annie.
