She was predeceased by her loving husband Paul, parents John and Annie, father and mother-in-law, Paul and Mary, and her grandson, Herbert. Anna was a quiet person, casting all her cares upon the Lord, our only redeemer and comforter. Peacefully sleeping, resting at last, The world's weary troubles and trials are past, In silence we suffered, in patience she bore, Till God called her home to suffer no more. Loving and kind in all her ways, Upright and just to the end of her days, Sincere and true, in her heart and mind, Beautiful memories, she left behind. Annie will be sadly missed by her loved ones and those that remembered her for her kindness and selfless ability to help others.
