Anna Threlkeld, daughter of the late Norman and Nettie (Rima) Dailey,
was born October 6, 1914 in Kansas. At the age of 9, Anna and her family
moved to Missouri in a covered wagon. She graduated from Richland High
School.
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

sewing.
