There are no words to express the grief I’m feeling. I am profoundly saddened by your loss. You have been the matriarch of our family and I love you. I will miss your smile, laugh and loving nature. I pray I can become half the woman you were. Until we meet again ❤️

Aunt Anna was an amazing person. She loved with all her heart, always had a smile on her face and never met a stranger. If you needed something and it was within her power to give it – she did. She touched so many lives and I’m so thankful that she was a part of mine. This beautiful , sweet Aunt whom I have such fond memories of will forever live on in my heart. Pat and I will miss her deeply

I will forever hold this woman in my heart. With her feisty attitude and vibrant personality she was a lifelong advocate for all things living and breathing. I don’t think I ever heard her complain unless someone mentioned going hunting. Her kind heart and infectious laughter was part of her very soul. She was a dedicated “giver” and loved helping anyone in need. I’m sure she is creating a ruckus in heaven and singing at the top of her lungs. I’m so blessed to have had her as my Aunt.
