MADISON - Sr. Annacile Kees, age 78 of Madison, passed away at home on Friday, March 9, 2012. She was born at home in St. John, Wis. on Sept. 3, 1933, the daughter of Michael and Clara (Popp) Kees. She was one of 17 children in a close, loving family. Sr. Annacile professed her vows as a Sister of St. Agnes in 1952. She spent many years, mainly as a first grade teacher in Fond du Lac, Sheboygan, Waunakee, and also for a short time in Kansas. Sr. Annacile struggled for many years with illness before receiving much healing from God. She was then called by God to begin a new community named the Living Stones of Jesus in order to share this healing with as many people as possible. Sr. Annacile loved to sing and dance. She was a very loving, joyful, and nurturing person. She had a deep faith, loving compassion for all people, and was always willing to share her faith.
