She also leaves behind great-grandchildren Abram Jarrett, Braxton Rupert, Adrianna Jarrett, and Bailey Rupert; special family members and their families, Rachel (William) Gregory, Kimberly (Lucky) Wheeler, and Crystal Clemons; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, extended family, and dear friends who loved her deeply.

Anna’s legacy is one of faith, generosity, and unconditional love. She will be remembered for the goodness she shared so freely and the many lives she touched with her gentle spirit and unwavering heart.
