Kris Ann was born on December 30, 1944, in Dubuque, IA, the daughter of Robert J. "Bob" and Charlotte E. (Trannel) Neenan.

An avid reader since childhood, Kris worked as a librarian at both the East Dubuque Public Library and Dubuque's Carnegie Stout library. Kris was a "Mother" figure to many children, including her younger siblings, godchildren, cousins, and her nieces and nephew. She enjoyed movies, crossword puzzles, reading, public televison and the company of her friends, especially the dear girls from the "card club", friends for over sixty-five (65) years.

Michael (Sandra) Neenan, of Fairplay, WI; three (3) sisters, Elyn (Paul) Schroeder, of Burlington, WI, Mary Beth (Tom) Ott, of Libertyville, IL, and Robin (Dennis) Nauman, of Oklahoma City, OK; nieces and nephews, Nik, Kate, Regina, Laura, Emily and Elizabeth; and a great niece and nephew, Charlotte and Cullen. She is also survived by an aunt, Bette Trannel, of Dubuque, IA.
