About
Born and raised in the Amish-Mennonite community of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, Jonas and Anne Beiler grew up surrounded by faith and family. During these early years, important life lessons were permanently woven into the fabric of their lives. Jonas and Anne both attended traditional Amish schools until the 8th grade, and were married in 1968.

Jonas and Anne’s peaceful life as newlyweds and young parents went into a tailspin after the death of their 19-month-old daughter, Angela Joy, who died tragically in a farming accident in 1975. Anne, in her mid-20s, found herself depressed and eventually on the brink of suicide. Jonas and Anne drifted apart. They remained silent partners who simply lived together and went through the motions of family life. After seven years of darkness, the Beilers sought counseling and were reconciled as God restored their marriage.

Jonas and Anne Beiler went on to found Auntie Anne’s Soft Pretzels, the world’s largest pretzel franchise, Family Resource and Counseling Centers, and The Family Center of Gap.
