Anna Lee was raised on a farm near Topeka, IL, and graduated from Foreman High School.  Her first job was with the Tazewell County Farm Bureau where she met Allen Bouslog.  She also worked for Caterpillar. They moved to Dixon, IL in 1962 and later to Urbana, IL in 1969, which became their home.  After raising her children, she went back to work at Prospect Foods.

She was active in the First United Methodist Church in Urbana where Anna Lee was a member of the Fellowship Sunday School class and United Methodist Women.   She was involved with Thomas Paine PTA for many years.  Anna Lee was also an enthusiastic fan and supporter of the Fighting Illini and held season basketball tickets for many years.

Nothing was more important and dear to her heart than family.  One of seven children, the importance of family and family values were instilled upon Anna Lee at an early age.  Her devotion to her children and grandchildren was very clear.  Her home was always filled with love for family.  She was a happy babysitter, gameplayer and baker.  Those will be special memories her children and grandchildren will never forget.

The family would like to thank the staff of Meadowbrook and Harbor Light for the loving care they gave our mother.
