Aunt Anna touched many lives during her long life. Her feet traveled from Alaska to Florida and places beyond. She was loved by all who knew her. She will be missed.

Thank you Kitty for the years you cared for her.

May those that she left behind be comforted in this time of loss.

Kathleen

Anna had a long and useful life. When my mother Julia Ewert was in the Hospital in 1965, Anna was one of her nurses. I loved the picture of her in her write up. It shows what a loving lady she was. The Bourner family extends their sympathy to her daughter and grandchildren. I know that Kitty was a great source of comfort to her in her final years. Jean Bourner and family.
