Vickie and family, my sincere condolences. Your Mom was a gem, I always enjoyed chatting with her when I’d see her at Sears or just out and about over the years. Prayers your memories bring you smiles and peace at this time.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Anna Mae has always held a special place in my heart and I’ve thought about her often over the years.
Sending love and hugs,

Anna Mae was such a big part of my memories as a teen. She always made me smile, especially when she was mad at Lisa. She provided a home away from home and served us some amazing meals, when we really didn’t deserve it. We are all so blessed to have had her in our lives. She will be missed but I know she is reunited with Lisa and Cotton, talking their ears off. Love to you all. Jami McDermott (Hunt)
Anna Mae & Cotton were a special couple. They’re together now. They were great parents
