Galina preceded her in death on October 24, 2004. Anna’s wish was to stay in MO so that when the time came - she can be buried beside her daughter.

Her son Alex and grandchildren would come and visit her often from WA.

Anna was a homemaker and was often found gardening, cooking, and making yummy borscht and piroshki. Anna enjoyed sewing and stitching in her spare time. She enjoyed spending time with family and friends, and deeply loved to sing- Many times gathering together with her dear friend Olga Dzekunova to sing and pray together. Anna loved God and church and was a member of Word of Life church. She never missed a service as long as her health allowed her. She was a prayer warrior - never missing a day without prayer for each and everyone of her family members. As she got older- she even wrote down the names of all her children and grandchildren down on a notebook that way she didn't forget to pray about them
