It’s been three years since Anna left this world for the next. I loved being her student and I will forever be grateful that she was my basketball coach at Valley Oak. As an adult, Anna talked me into taking a long-term substitute job at Green Akers. She was the dean of students and I sent student after student to her office with a referral. I never thought that would survive those five weeks but I did, thanks to her. I wish I could have seen her one more time before she died, but God had other plans. I have thought of her often these past three years. I hope you are resting in peace, Anna. I miss you.❤️‍🩹

Another year has passed. Our Alma Mater Redwood High is flying high, though we did lose the Cowhide. We will get it back next year! You are always in our thoughts.

Always in my thoughts.  As long as we remember,  your light will always be present.    Dee

Anna, from the class of Redwod High School 1970, we remember you always. Keep smiling, you are not forgotten.

Sweet cousin .  No one ever leaves us as long as we remember. And we remember you. So many memories of family get togethers and  your quiet understated voice.  Bumping in to you and the family at the casino buffet. You never changed. Loved your chuckle and smile.  To the moon and back.

Thinking of you today, Anna. You will never be forgotten. Many blessings upon you. Your memory will always be a blessing.

It has been a year since we have lost Anna. She is in our hearts, and not forgotten.

Anna, I will always remember you. You were one of the best people I have ever met. Your memory will be a blessing to all who were fortunate enough to know you.

I didn't know her, but I have heard wonderful things about her.  I teach at Goshen school. Sorry for your loss.

I first met Anna when I started teaching at Green Acres in '88 and then we went to La Joya at the same time, she always had a great disposition and was always calm when others around her were not.  She always had a positive attitude and looked for ways to get things done rather than reasons something couldn't be done. She will truly be missed but I'm sure she is in a much better place. May GOD bless her family until we all meet again.

I had the privilege of working with Anna at Divisadero Middle School.  She was friendly, hardworking, and cared for the staff and students.  I remember her telling me about her bird watching adventures.  She will be missed.  May God comfort and bless the Gomez family.

Anna had the most generous heart of anyone I know.  Her love for students and education will surpass the best of us.  

To Mr. Gomez, Randy, and all of the family: I am so sorry to hear of Anna's passing, please accept my sincere sympathy.  I know you have lost a treasure.

My earliest memories of Anna begin with the nice girl with the long braids who lived in a yellow house on Hall St!  I also remember her at Green Acres, Redwood, and into adulthood.  Anna was a good friend, a great student, a serious athlete (she loved "after school sports"), a student body leader,  a mentor and dedicated educator.  She had a unique sense of humor and was the kindest person you could ever know. She had so much energy and so many interests she was always on the go; I could never keep up with her!  She loved her family and friends, Siamese cats, teaching, sports, baking, creating, collecting, refinishing, and so much more! She never met a stranger.  She felt things deeply. 

When my parents were ill and couldn't leave the house, Anna visited them regularly; after they died, she helped us with their funerals.   Those are the kind of actions that come from the heart and cannot be repaid.  Anna was generous with her time and she walked the talk. None of us will ever know how much she really did for others; she and her big heart quietly and humbly cared for and helped them without being asked and without any expectation of recognition or repayment.  She just did it.  It's who she was.  

I am certain that God, Annie, and all the angels in heaven welcomed Anna with excitement, joy, and love.  It doesn’t surprise me that God called her home in the month of November—the month we remember and celebrate the saints. Anna Marie is now among them, and we will always remember her.

"Whatsoever you do for the least of my brothers that you do unto me."  
Matthew 25, 45


I first met Anna when she hired me as the School Nurse at La Joya when it opened.  I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed her company, her wit and dedication to the students and again at Sequoia H.S.  She was such fun and I will truly miss her.  

Anna was a sweet, compassionate, and giving person.  At this time, when we are so thankful for all we have, we are also grateful for all those who have touched our lives, making our lives better.  

Anna brought such fun and joy to those who were fortunate to be touched by her life, including her friends, colleagues, and most importantly - her students.

Blessings to her family.  Love to each of you.

My Dear Friend,

I am so grateful I had the opportunity to meet you and become friends through my scrapbook store, Among Friendz.  We had some wonderful times laughing and visiting. You always had a smile on your face and love in your heart for everyone you met.

Until we meet again my dear friend Anna.

Love, Kelley McCracken

I am saddened to hear of Anna's passing. We worked together building La Joya Middle School, which was an amazing time for many of us as educators. Anna was always great to work with., and so big hearted.  A favorite memory is of all that she went through to get James Lovell to come and speak at our school. She badgered, cajoled and bribed him; whatever it took. Mr. Lovell did not do any public speaking engagements, but he eventually acquiesced and the result was incredible. His appearance at our school was a lifetime highlight for many of us. May she rest in peace.

I was so very, very sorry to see that Anna had passed away.  I was thinking about when I saw her last.  Of course, I saw her going to church at St. Mary's but the last time was at the Lamp Liter Inn enjoying the Thanksgiving brunch.  Little did I know that it would be our last visit here on earth.  I have such great memories of Anna and your family.  Anna coming to teach at Goshen School for her first teaching assignment.  Goshen School is where we became friends.  My trip with her to visit her dad in Washington.  It was so much fun.  She was  our seagull queen going to Victoria Island and she was brave enough to feed the seagulls.  She was a much better tennis player than I but I tried to beat her for a long while.  Although we didn't see each other much, she'll always be my special friend and I know she is in OUR LORD's presence and is loving being with her mom.  Hugs and love to you Mr. Gomez and Randy.  Love, Rosalie Silva Bishop

As a member of Redwood class of 1970 we will miss a gentle giant who treated everyone with respect and dignity.  We have lost a angel.  Rest In Peace  Anna.
