Anna Mae Stoltzfus was 12 and a 7th grader at West Nickel Mine Parochial School when she was killed on October 2, 2006, in the mass shooting at the West Nickel Mines Amish School in Paradise, Pennsylvania. She was the daughter of Christ K. and Lizzie L. Allgyer Stoltzfus and had six brothers and one sister. Anna Mae attended the Old Order Amish Church.

The shooter, identified as 32-year-old milk truck driver Charles Carl Roberts IV, took hostages inside the one-room school and the attack resulted in five young girls being killed, including Anna Mae, Marian Fisher, Naomi Rose Ebersol, Mary Liz Miller, and Lena Miller. The victims were buried in simple wooden coffins and funeral processions used horse-drawn buggies in keeping with Amish custom. The community responded by focusing on healing and supporting one another.
