Anna was a graduate of UAH Nursing School; she served as an RN until her oldest daughter was born, when she became a dedicated stay-at-home mom. She supported her husband in his 20 year service in the US Army. Wherever the Army took the family, Anna served the Lord in her local church. Anna loved the Lord Jesus Christ with all her heart. She always sought opportunities to share the universal need of Jesus Christ saving individuals from their sins and making Him the Lord of their lives.
Anna made everyone she met feel like family. She always welcomed people into her home. She was filled with contagious joy and laughter, and her sense of humor brought smiles to many faces. She will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and church community. Her wisdom and joy will be carried on through all of the individuals she impacted.
