Anna Maria Bernal

Anna Maria Bernal was born September 22, 1963 in Kansas City MO as the youngest daughter of a wonderful family. She had 3 children who love her dearly. Mark (31), Zak (18), Tony (17). She was a very religious, down to earth, nonmaterialistic woman. She was a great mother and grandmother. She was also a caregiver to anyone in need of help, just like her beloved late mother, Amparo Bernal, in fact she would care for homeless people from time to time giving them a place to stay. She was very upfront and real, Anna was the type of person that would speak up about something if she needed to or felt she needed to, that's just who she was. She was an extremely strong woman, mentally and physically, with the strength of a bear and the heart of a lion. Anna loved her family and friends more than anything and will be missed by all who got to meet her. If you knew Anna you would know that she was beautiful in many ways, from her sense of humor to the unconditional love she had for her family, she truly expressed the importance of gratitude. There's not enough words to express the type of person Anna Maria Bernal really was. Our Heavenly Father is the highest power and she she truly believed that.
