So many memories I have with you and your family. You always had a spot for me at your table. What a lovely person you were. Thank you, Anna for loving me as one of your own. I will miss not being able to give you my jam and pickles. I love you!

We are deeply saddened by Anna’s passing. We were next door neighbors for 8 years but she was much more than a neighbor, she treated us like part of her family and we loved her as such. She was such an optimistic and caring lady to everyone she met. We are so glad that we were able to have such a great visit with her in January and got a couple of good photos of her. We pray for comfort for Sherry and all her family. She will definitely be missed by all who came in contact with her.

I had the honor of getting to know Miss Anna when my mother became a resident of The Willows. It was such an inspiration to hear Miss Anna speak of her strong faith and love for her God. I always learned from Miss Anna when I was able to attend Bible study. Miss Anna touched my heart with her unwavering faith, compassion for others and her beautiful smile. Miss Anna blessed me in so many ways. Soar high, sweet Anna, in the presence of your God.🙏🏻

Dear family, your mom was one of the sweetest person Ive ever known. In addition to getting to know her when she and your dad attended the Chem Pak events, particularly the picnics. They always made it better. she always brightened my day whenever I ran into her and we had the opportunity to chat and get updated on the goings on of your family, and the new grand babies. She and your dad were very special people and I know they are together again. My deepest condolences to all of you. Susie Duane
