The family moved to Michigan for work opportunities during WWII. Anna herself began working early, babysitting and working at a Dairy Bar, a first job she remembered fondly.

Anna worked part time intermittently, especially around the holidays for extra Christmas spending money. She prioritized caring for her family and being active in her local Methodist church wherever they were living. She especially enjoyed reading, crocheting, and quilting. Throughout the moves, she maintained her lifelong friendships with many and built new friendships.

After 38 years of marriage, she stood with her daughters in truth and reset her life with a divorce from David. She moved back to Arlington and began a full-time career at Dillard’s. She became an award-winning salesclerks in the Women’s department. She also became active in Good Shepherd United Methodist Church where she remained a member until her passing.
