There was no job that she wouldnt try because it was unorthodox. She pushed us all to go beyond our self imposed boundaries by raising the bar for what was possible for herself and everyone around her. As a young girl, raised with three older brothers, she loved to hunt and fish with her dad. She grew into an athletic, fearless young woman. She was known for her insatiable curiosity and zest for life, a trait that never left her. She lived by a philosophy that there was no question not worth asking, no person she didnt want to meet. She kicked all of our butts skiing down the mountains, and could out drive a lot of men on the golf course. She rode motorcycles, played tennis, jumped off cliffs, flew airplanes, threw double flips from the high dive, skateboarded, water skied and loved to drive fast. Her friends knew her as the one who got them kicked out of the movies for laughing too much, who loved to dream, who always took the dare, who went bravely into the unknown and thought just about everything in life truly was funny. With Anna, there was no easing into the water one toe at a time it was a cannon ball or nothing.Annas greatest love was her family. She leaves behind her greatest fans Husband Jack, daughter Amy and her boyfriend Pat, Jacks sons, Chris and Tim, Tims wife Nadia, grandsons Brody and Pearson as well as Brodys mom Elessa, her identical twin granddaughters, Ryan Anna and Riley Marcia (due to arrive shortly), brother Reg, sister-in-laws Val, Janey, and Kitty. Brother in laws Jeff and Eric. In laws, Buck and Alice Jones, and Parents in love, Roger and Diana Pinneo. Nieces; Brianna, Sarah T., Donnette, Sarah B., and Monica, and Chelsea. Nephews; Raymond, Dax, Dustin, Luke Travis and Garrett. Her fans base was extensive, (practically everyone she ever met) and those who knew her best knew that it was her friends and family that she lived for&hellipThey will remember her spirit, laugh, teasing, and embrace. She was constantly rooting for the underdog, and pted anyone into the family who needed a warm place to land. Anna was one of the few people who could not only dish it out, but could also take it. She was the first to be the shoulder to cry on, but she was also the first to give you that good swift kick to the rear end if needed. She lived her life by a simple codedo the right thing. There was little compromise for not living up to this motto. While she had a forgiving heart, she held all of us accoun. Anna lived her life by her own rule book, and she passed in the same manner. It was not in her to be taken care of, or living a life that was void of the things she loved. It was 100% her design to pass in a first class way. A fighter like no other, she knew when to leave the party in style. She will be greeted by her dearly missed father Reg Senior and mother Roberta, brother Dwight, sister- in law Jeanne and cousin Johnnie. As we look to the sky we can see her jumping from cloud to cloud, laughing and having an extraordinary time off on her next adventure They dont know whats heading their way!!
