Anna was pure gold. I grew up at Commonwealth and she was a rare and beautiful lady. She is now with Ronald and her sweet Jesus. But the Earth grieves Blessings to the family

Anna will be greatly missed by the Charlotte Branch of the American Association of University Women where she was president for four years in the 90s and was honored for her 50 years as an AAUW member. She often hosted the branch's literary group, often with special speakers, in addition to hosting the annual Holly Tea at Wilora Lakes.

My heart is heavy right now: I will cherish the times I went to visit Ms. Anna when she was at Wilora Lake. She had a heart of gold and made everyone feel so special. RIP Ms. Anna
