Anna B. was charming, selfless and stubborn. She laughed with tight lips, bouncing shoulders, and a friendly eye roll if the joke was good enough. She was an avid member of Our Lady of Sorrows Church, volunteering for Meals on Wheels until she was no longer physically able. She dedicated her life to raising a kind, capable family and cared about making the world a better place. Her passion for life will live on in those who love and miss her deeply.

A private family Mass for Anna has taken place. Memorial donations my be made to Heart to Heart Hospice.
