Anna dedicated years of service to the State Central Bank in Keokuk and contributed her talents to the US Government in Washington DC, demonstrating a commitment to her country and community that was unwavering.
Anna’s passion for the outdoors was evident to all who knew her. She found joy in feeding and caring for the squirrels and birds that frequented her garden, and her fondness for dogs, especially German Shepherds, was well-known. Her adventurous spirit led her to travel and live in diverse places, including the Philippines and London, enriching her life with global experiences. Above all, Anna loved the time spent and memories shared with her husband Lindel.
At home, Anna was happiest working in her yard, mowing the lawn, or tending to her garden. An avid reader, she also relished the simple pleasures of making homemade bread and savoring her favorite dish, biscuits and gravy. Anna’s zest for life and nurturing spirit will be profoundly missed.
Pallbearers will be Michael Walker, Butch Augsburg, Rick Sublette, and Kyle Schneider.
