I had the pleasure of knowing Anna through her volunteering at AMC/Augusta Health. She was one of our Thursday welcome desk greeters and a thrift shop volunteer in Staunton. I always enjoyed engaging in conversation with Anna. She had lots of "spunk"! My thoughts and prayers are with her family. Blessings to all~

Anna, our beloved aunt, was a warm and caring woman. Her graciousness put us at ease whenever we were with her. We shared many hardy laughs together, too! We will surely miss her.

I share the sentiments of my sisters Colleen Coyner and Sharon Pederson and only want to add how much fun Ann was. She added bubble and fizz to whatever room she walked into.

Anna was such a wonderfully opinionated Democrat and she and my Mother, Alphie Canning, were great pals! I loved catching up with her political thoughts whenever I visited Staunton. She will be missed. My condolences to her family.
