I was so sad to read the paper and see where Mrs Anna had past away. I worked with her a long time ago at First National Bank. She was super nice to me and trained me to do her job while she went on vacation. She was a super sweet lady. Beautiful Christian lady. Prayers for all of the family. She will be missed.

She was a jewel. We always looked forward to seeing her at DQ and visiting with her when she was able to come in. We loved hearing of the adventures of her, Rose and Glendene, they had some great times. When God made her, he threw away the mold, she was so kind and so thoughtful of others. You all are in our thoughts and prayers, May God wrap his arms around you and comfort each of you.
