Associate degree in Administration from Del Mar College. After 30 plus years of 
dedicated service, she retired from Southwestern Bell Telephone Company.

and gentle soul who had a passion for traveling, loved the beach, enjoyed the 
ocean with 13 cruises, many road trips to her favorite spot ~ Salado, TX, was 
an avid reader and loved life. 
Her number one priority was her family, sharing her love and heart with her 
only daughter, Loralei; and her furry, feline friend "Rowdy". 
Anna never met a stranger, throughout her life, she continued her friendships 
from high school to people she met on her cruises. 
Friday nights were special "Friday Shakey, Shakey Night", friends would gather 
for a shake of the martini and drinks!
