My Mom, Mary Cartwright, lived at the View for 3 years, at the same time as Anna. They would often sit and visit after meals, and go to many activities together. My Mom and I attended Anna's 95th birthday party at the View and it was a lovely celebration. She was a wonderful lady and will be dearly missed. Sending our condolences.
