Anna Butcher as I knew her. I remember Anna & Lou as far back as 1946 when my sister started dating her brother Pete. She was an extremely hard working loving person, and even though God gave her many trials and tribulations in life to deal with, she always got it done beautifully. That included a sincere devotion to her beloved husband Lou whom she lost much too soon! Loving her parents and siblings, and timeless attention to her own large family was definitely the most important part of her life.
In her later years I would see Anna from time to time, and her greetings were always as warm as the first time I met her as a little 5 year old boy. As a matter of fact she recently went as far as to leave me a voice mail at my work number because she had seen my name in the Church of the Resurrection bulletin. I returned the call, but I’m sorry to say only spoke to her answering machine. My memories of Anna will always be of a genuinely beautiful, warm, loving concerned person. She always treated Diane with the same warmth and courtesy that she extended to me.
With our most sincere sympathy to all of her many survivors,
Steve & Diane Drozd
