So sorry to recently hear of Anna's passing. Being neighbors for years, I will miss talking to her and visiting when we were getting hoagies and candy. I was always amazed at her motivation to keep going. Rest in peace, sweet Anna, we will miss you.

What an inspiration Anna was to me and to her fellow exercise class members! For years she arrived with a smile, and her portable oxygen case, often wearing her pink Groovy Movers T-shirt. She set an example for all of us - a reminder to keep moving, keep smiling, and have fun. Of course we all looked forward to the CANDY! Most of us placed orders for the wonderful selection of homemade holiday treats (and tasted some of the free samples that she provided!) I enjoyed occasional visits to her home, sharing stories, looking at the newest family photos on her fridge. She was my hero. I will miss her. The Groovy Movers will always have a chair for Anna.

Dear Deb, Mark and family, as many others, I also am very sorry for your loss. From the very first time I met Aunt Anna I knew she would be my friend forever. It was her smile, her kind words, her willingness to always help others. Gosh the delicious cakes, cookies and candy I loved them all. She recently told me she didn't have a recipe for pumpkin bread. I mailed her mine. She did receive it. Not sure if she got to make it. I had homemade ice cream one time. It was hers. Also so very tasty.
I will truly miss our conversations on the phone. We talked about everything. Especially our families. Deb and Mark, she loved each and everyone of you. I truly love you Aunt Anna. I will miss you. I'm delighted you were my friend.

Oh, Aunt Anna, even though I wasn't there for you for a few years, I want the family to know I will miss you deeply. She loved playing cards with LeRoy and Dorothy Watt, along with whoever showed up. She was very close to her brother LeRoy. She is the last of that generation in our family. Rest in peace, great lady. Watch over your family and show us a sign every now and again that you are watching. Love you forever.

I first met Anna at an exercise class for “not so young anymore” group of ladies, called Groovy Movers, at the Lower Saucon Township building. Believe it or not, Anna was always moving as best as she could, despite her limitations. She was always upbeat and smiling. Physically she may have been limited, but her positive spirit shined through. And you could tell how much she loved others and loved God. She is now with our Resurrected Lord, in paradise, where there are no more worries and pain. Anna, rest in peace. Your friend, Linda

My dear sweet Anna. I will miss you so very much. Our weekly 1 to 2 hour phone calls, sometimes 3. Thank you for being my friend. Thank you for always being there when I needed help with menus for the Penny Party! Thank you for loving your church the way you did. You were always gathering items for the penny party and baking your famous chocolate cakes to pass through the line. (And you always baked an extra one for me) You will always be with us as we roll our candy, making sure each piece is not too big or too small, just right! I am very fortunate to call you my cherished friend.
RIP my sweet Anna ❤

My dear Anna, thank you for the years of friendship, thank you for caring so much for your church. I’ll always remember are long talks on trying to figure out candy batches. You taught me so much. Even though you thought I was doing it myself the last couple years, it was comforting to know you were on the other end just listening to me. I love you and will miss you. Rest in peace, your pain is gone.
My sincere condolences to the family.
