Anna was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren were her pride and joy. Mom and Dad lead by example. The teamwork and love they showed in running the family farm and in their marriage gave us all something to strive for.

She gave advice only when asked, but her love was always unconditional.
Anna is survived by her children and their spouses: Gerald (Brenda) Cuyle of Norwich, Donna Cuyle of Oxford, Diane (Harold) Gardner of Norwich, Sandra (Rusty) Lent of Hampton, VA, Susan (Neal) Evans of Utica, Lori (Herman) Ericksen of Norwich and Lisa (Michael) Castle of Bainbridge.
