Anna Childs Obituary
Born on February 27, 1926, in New York City, Anna was the daughter of Ljuba (later "Amelia") Persich and Anton Frolia, whose surname was anglicized from Frojia, of Croatian origin. She attended Washington Irving High School and worked for the War Department before marrying Harold Childs on October 27, 1946, in New York City.
After many years in Chelsea, NY, Anna and Harold relocated to Brookhaven, GA, in 1970. A devoted Christian and active member of her community, Anna worshiped at Glad Tidings Tabernacle in New York and later at Skyland United Methodist, Mt. Paran Church of God, and Chamblee-Tucker Christian Fellowship in Atlanta.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her beloved husband, Harold; and siblings, Anthony Frolia and Catherine Villani. Anna is survived by her daughters, Pamela Childs Delena and Cassandra "Cassie" Childs Mitchell; six grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren. Childs, Frolia, Anna
