Anna attended St. Stanislaus Grade School and was a 1943 graduate of Minersville High School. She was active in the drama club and frequently serenaded her grandchildren with “Your Eyes, Your Lips, Your Hair” from one of her high school musicals. During World War II, she proudly volunteered to be a “Rosy the Riveter” to help with the civilian war effort.

She was an active member of the Married Women’s Sodality and volunteered many hours “pinching pierogies” for Polish Day. She loved music and polka dancing; enjoyed bus trips to the casinos and was an avid Bingo player. Anna was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. To know her, was to love her.
Her son, Gregory J.and his wife Gail, Llewellyn and Francis X., Minersville, survive her.
