Marilyn and family,
Our hearts and thoughts are with you in this difficult time. I will always remember Aunt Anna as one of the sweetest people I have ever had the pleasure to know. I can’t remember a time that she wasn’t smiling. Always happy. Always joking around, laughing, singing. Always telling everyone how much she loved them, and always complimenting everyone. Even on my roughest days she would say “you’re so pretty” (even though that was far from the truth :). She wore her heart on her sleeve, and set an example of how we all should be. She will be truly missed. May she rest peacefully.
Please do not hesitate to ask, if there is anything we can do.
With all our love,
Katy & Booker Scott

Marilyn – I’m so sorry for your loss. Grandma was the most loving, caring and giving person that I could have ever known. I was so lucky to be able to meet her and experience everything all the smiles, hugs and good time with her. No matter who were, she loved you and treated you like family. Again, I’m sorry! If you need anything ( a shoulder) I’m here.

Back in about 1967 there was a wonderful hard working lady that lived in a little house on Deane Blvd with her two younger children. We, too, lived on that same property in the other house. I can remember Ann coming home from work and the shortly later we would smell supper cooking, it always smelled so good! And sitting on the steps of the house talking and laughing. And her baking, she made such delicious pies and always shared! We only lived there a short time, but it was long enough for Ann to make a wonderful impression on us. We always wondered what happened to her. Well she seemed to live a long and full life, and that is wonderful. Your mother left lasting impressions on people she met, and Thank You Ann for that! God Bless You and Rest In Peace Dear Lady!
