Anna Lee was a coal miner’s daughter who spent her early childhood years in Muhlenberg County. She was very active at Memorial Baptist Church on Marx Road where she taught Sunday School. Anna Lee first taught the Beginner’s Class and later taught the Adult Class. She was a member of the Bible Study Fellowship Group. Anna had an extensive knowledge of the Bible from her many years of study. She was a talented painter who was honored to have several paintings displayed at the Evansville and Audubon Museums. Anna was also proud to be literacy tutor for several years. She greatly enjoyed traveling throughout the world with her family and friends. But, an even greater passion was being on her zero turn Scag lawn mower in her beautifully manicured lawn overlooking her farm well into her nineties.
