She enjoyed many things in life, including softball, camping, and singing, especially country music. Anna loved spending time with her family and grandchildren, which meant more to her than anything.

Family game nights were special to her, especially playing the game “Washers,” where she was known for being very good and winning many tournaments. Anna also enjoyed playing various card games over the years but most recently became an expert at UNO.

Anna enjoyed cooking and she often called her dishes “Anna’s concoctions.” She also liked crossword puzzles, reading the newspaper, and watching her favorite shows such as Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy, and Texas Ranger.
