Anna was best known for her Bannock (cooking for the community), she loved to travel, read books, do puzzles and play Bingo. She also loved to collect things like movies, Angel’s, Foxes and Loon’s. She spent her time making quilts and loved to cook and cater functions. But most of all she really loved her children and grandchildren, her greatest gifts were her great grandchildren, who she loved and cherished a lot. She was a very strong woman with a big heart, in her own way she showed her love. Her favorite TV shows were NCIS, CSI and Crime mystery shows. She loved men in uniform! Her favorite foods were the # 3 at Hing’s and going to Yesterday’s restaurant.
