On January 12, 1935, Anna was united in marriage to John Threlkeld and they shared 48 wonderful years of marriage together. They were blessed with three children: James, Nettie and Jo Ann. John preceded Anna in death in 1983.
Anna was a hardworking woman and took great pride in helping to provide for her family. She was able to be self-employed as a seamstress so she could be at home caring for her family. In her spare time, she enjoyed gardening, painting, quilting and sewing.
