Anna was one of the most supportive and giving persons in the Rock Hill Music Club. I will never forget the day that she gave me her musical blanket which was on my sofa for years. She was often accompanied by Bettye Rawls, our former president for programming for the club and in the community. She will be sorely missed.

Anna was a true Southern lady . She had a voice as sweet as she was. She was married to one of Lamar´s best friends. Bo was totally devoted to Anna and loved her with all of his heart. I am sure that Anna will be missed so much by all of her family. She loved Bo and her family dearly. I know they are reunited in Heaven.

Anna and Butch were true friends to our family, especially between our parents. Many good memories of times together. Anna had the sweetest voice and it showed every time she sang. My thoughts and prayers are to Michelle, Meg, Lyn and Joanna.
