To a dear remembered friend, the Curington family is truly sorry for your loss. I grew up "Across the River" with Anna and so many dear friends who admired Anna. I followed Anna through most of her career and she was an inspiration to so many of those who lived in our close community and attended Central Elementary School.
The memories we all shared with her are endless and knowing Anna , she will continue to keep activities in order and make sure All Are Inclusive.
I will miss my admired friend

To the family, many friends, athletes and teachers who's life Ms. Anna Earley touched, changed, or affected. In memory of such a great mentor and example of a strong woman. It is with prayers of comfort and peace I send these words. Ms. Earley is a monumental angel sent to us from God. She fought and lived the great fight. She gave to any and all she came in contact with to the moon and beyond. You will be greatly missed but never forgotten. You earned your wings and heaven got another angel.

I could not believe the news of Ms Early (Anna) passing. She was more than a teacher or a coach to me. She was like family. She meant a lot to me and she would go the mile for me as she would any other student. I learned a lot from her. I enjoyed having her as a coach. Always smiling and willing to help. The only person that could come get me out of bed to run a track meet. Love and miss you Anna.
