Anna D. Sample, 85, of Houston TX, passed away on July 19, 2020. The last few months were a struggle for her and her family to maintain contact during the forced isolation that began in March 2020. She was a dear mother, cherished sister and aunt, and friend to many. She will be missed.

She is also survived by brother Hugh Davis of Birmingham, Alabama, brother Charles L. Davis and sister Martha Stewart, both of Lanett, Alabama. Nieces Elaine Mallory of West Point, Georgia, and Stephanie Stewart of London, England. Anna was preceded in death by her daughter Lisa Sample Allen in 2010.
Anna loved to read, play crosswords and visit with family.
