She lived most of her life in the Lebanon, Missouri area and attended Lebanon R-III Schools. She had been employed by Copeland Corporation and by McDonald’s Restaurant for a few years. She had made her home in Suffolk, Virginia for a short time.
Anna professed her faith in Christ and was baptized in May of 2011 at Hillcrest Baptist Church in Lebanon.
In her spare time she enjoyed camping with her family. She was a free spirit, was rather outspoken, and you could always tell what she was thinking. She didn’t make excuses for her disability and didn’t let it get in her way. She always put others first, and loved her family dearly.
Anna was a loving mother, daughter, granddaughter, great-granddaughter, sister, fiancée, and was a kind and caring neighbor and friend. We celebrate her life and know that her family and friends will cherish the wonderful memories that she created for them during her short lifetime.
