Anne Elizabeth McGregor

Anne McGregor, our loving mother, 86, passed away peacefully on August 5, 2023, in Gardnerville, Nevada. She was born in Norwood, Colorado to Wayne and Clare Bauer. She attended Mancos High School and went on to graduate from Draughons Business College in Nashville, Tennessee. After graduation she married her high school sweetheart James (Mac) McGregor, and they had four children. Once her kids started school, she worked part time at Bakersfield College as an administrative assistant. When they relocated to Arizona, she worked beside dad at Baby Rocks Trading Post on the Navajo Reservation, where she formed many lifetime friendships. The family moved to Flagstaff, AZ and she ended her career at Northern Arizona University working in the history department, registrars’ office, and the library. After retirement they moved to Mancos. In 2004, they moved to Gardnerville to be closer to their family. As much as she loved working, Mom’s priorities were her faith and family. She was a member of St. Teresa Catholic Church. We were blessed to have her as our matriarch. She was your No. 1 cheerleader and she loved unconditionally, always greeting you with a smile and a hug. Mom endured many challenges throughout her life and relied on her faith to get her through. She was a prayer warrior and always had a book to share. Besides volunteering at church and spending time with her family, she enjoyed cards, reading, nickel slots, and of course, Wheel of Fortune. She and dad had many lifelong friends from Mancos that would frequently meet in Arizona to enjoy each other and stay connected. Anne is survived by her son, Michael McGregor, daughter, Cheryl Slack (Sam), seven grandchildren and four great grandchildren. She is proceeded in death by her husband James McGregor, son Captain James Marty McGregor, and daughter Michelle Stanfil. Thank you, mom, you are forever in our hearts. Funeral service will be held in the chapel at St. Teresa Catholic Church on August 19th at 11:00 am.
