Anna attended Union Kempsville, for a short time and went on to work various jobs, while raising her girls at a very young age. She was very passionate about one of her jobs at the Navy Lodge in Norfolk, where she was a Supervisor. She later pursued Private Duty Help for many. Anna was a beautiful soul, inside and out. Always extending a helping hand to anyone. No one was a stranger to her.
SHE LOVED THE LORD and showed this to everyone she met. She loved life and was a force to be reckoned with and loved to party and have fun. She was a member @ New Hope Baptist and Mount Olive Baptist and sang in the choir at both. She was also a member of Upper Room.
She also had a passion for softball and being with her teammates. Anna lived her life the way she wanted. She was a bright light in any room she entered. She was VERY outspoken and blunt!! She usually had a kind word for anyone she encountered, but if you rubbed her the wrong way, she had words for this too!!
Her famous words were: Boom Boom, Ooww Ooww, Weee Weee, Sugar Bump, My Peoples and Pee Thang!! Anna was hilarious with a big, kind and giving heart!! The ones in the community where she used to live in Atlantis Apt, knew if anyone was in need of an uplifting word, food, clothes, a place to lay their heads or a few dollars, they knew they could go to Boom and get the family treatment.
