Born May 9, 1959, in Elkins, West Virginia, she graduated with the class of 1978 from Elkins High School. She worked at the Morehead City Walmart for 17 years in the fabric department.

Anna was a loving and devoted mother first and foremost.  She especially loved her role as a grandmother “mom mom” and being an aunt to her many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her father and mother, Leonard and Ida Ruth Swecker.
