Anna R. Griffin

Anna R. Griffin, 86, lifelong resident of Fort Wayne, born to Retha B. Cox and Elvin D. Murphy in Liberty, KY. Ann went to be with Jesus on 07/22/2021 surrounded by her loving family members. She was known for her love for the Lord and everyone she ever met. She loved baking cookies for everyone. One of her favorite quotes was, “Jesus first, cookies second.” She was a powerhouse of love and a pillar of strength. She taught us all how to navigate the world in the most genuine way. Her legacy will remain with all of us, as she touched our lives and left an indelible imprint of care, deeds, and lessons taught. The measure of her life can be found in her character, her joy, and her courage to fight. She loved caring for the downtrodden and sharing hope. She is survived by two loving daughters, Gwendolyn S. (Brian) Arbuckle of Shipshewana and Vicky A. Griffin of Fort Wayne; five grandchildren; 17 great grandchildren; four great-great grandchildren; two sisters, Linda J.
