Anna was born in Crawford County, Ohio, and raised with her brothers and sisters in Bucyrus, Ohio. She was a draftsman at Goodyear Aerospace where she worked on the design of airship cars.
She married in 1960 and stayed home to raise her children in Munroe Falls. She was a member of the First United Methodist Church, active in bowling leagues, the Munroe Falls Garden Club, and the Munroe Falls Historical Society. Anna used her artistic talent to create artwork for the garden club and the city of Munroe Falls.

May her love, kindness and devotion to family live on in our hearts forever.
