Sympathies to Anna’s family. I met Anna when she volunteered @ the Bethany Gift Shop on SU Drive where I was employed in Towers II food service. She was always pleasant & very kind to all the residents & staff alike. We kept in touch as she moved to Pioneer Manor & eventually to 🌹 Rosewood on Broadway; now St. Catherine’s North. I visited her as often as possible. She liked her candy 🍭 & talked often of her younger days, her family & I admired her faith in God. They have weekly mass @ St. Catherine’s North & she went as often as able.
Know that she is now w/ our Lord 🙏🏼 in Heaven. Keep the many good memories of Anna close to your hearts 💕
Sincerely, Bernadette(Bernie)Lies
