Anna Gipson Obituary
Born April 10, 1945, in Ironton, Ohio, she was the daughter of the late Elmer Burley Napier and Ava Louise Hatfield Napier. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her loving and devoted husband of 43 years, Joe Paul Gipson, one sister, Celeita King, and one precious granddaughter Julianne King.
Anna is survived by one son Billy Joe Gipson and his wife Christene of Loveland, Colorado, two daughters, Lisa Ann Potter and her husband Steve of Ashland, Kentucky and Lora Kay King and her husband James of Catlettsburg, Kentucky, one brother Burley Napier, five grandchildren, Meghan Moellman, Tabitha Kemp, Aidan Gipson, Jacob Potter and Jocelyn King, and five great-grandchildren, Mason Moellman, Brooke Moellman, Emma Moellman, Alaina Kemp and Cash Gipson. She also leaves behind a host of family members and friends who will sadly miss her.
Anna spent her life serving and meeting the needs of others without reservation or question. The love and dedication she gave to her family was her crowning jewel she proudly adored. Her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren each had a special place in her heart.
Anna's love for others was something special, from her time spent in the Greenup County Homemakers, to the monthly meeting with the Russell class of 1963, to the L.A.F.F. (Life After Fifty is Fun) group at the Flatwoods First Pentecostal Church she cherished every moment she had with her friends.
