Anna and Gator retired to Colorado where they lived in Westcliffe. They were high up in the mountains living out their dreams in the beautiful Sangre De Cristo Mountains. She was active in the American Legion and worked devotedly for wildlife rescue.
Anna and Joe came to Greenville, NC, in 2017 to be closer to her sister Cora and her family. Cora was a wonderful caregiver, sister and companion to Anna. Anna and Cora spent every day together and were so close they finished each others sentences. They enjoyed gardening, taking care of their chickens, decorating for every holiday and spending time with the family. Anna was a kind soul that loved animals and was always quick to joke and laugh with a happy smile and bright eyes.
