Anna Ridless Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Ewton Funeral Home & Cremation Center on Mar. 16, 2026.
Anna Christine (Sharp) Ridless, age 61, of Dunlap, Tennessee, passed away peacefully on March 14th, 2026. Born of May 7th, 1964 in Anchorage, Alaska, Anna was the fourth of five children. Anna and her siblings Laura Schryver, Ronald Sharp, Julie McGlothen, and David Cook were born to their loving mother Anna Foster who resides in Silverdale, Washington.

Anna was known by her middle name as "Christine" or "Chris" to her family and friends including Steve Nelson, the father of her three boys that survive her, Nick, Adam, and Greg Nelson. She also had 5 grandkids, Natalie, Mary Kate, Lucy (Christine), Noah, and Zara.

She will be missed immensely and was loved by many. Her infectious laugh, witty humor, and expressive eyes are locked in the memories of her loved ones here on earth while she awaits being reunited with us all in Heaven, where she will no longer be in pain and where she can rest in peace watching over us. She was so incredibly proud of her family and for her, life, and the moments of joy it brought, were in her words, "worth it".
