Anna was born on December 31, 1947, in Reagan County, Texas to Ysidro and Julia (Ramos) Peña. She was a graduate of Reagan County High School in Big Lake and attended Amarillo College. She moved to Canyon in 1976 where she worked as a CNA at Palo Duro Hospital and Family Medicine Center in Canyon. She was also a personal caregiver in the Canyon and Amarillo area where she made many dear and treasured friends over the years.

Anna was a faithful member of Arden Road Baptist Church and served on the City of Canyon Housing Authority board of directors. She had a passion for crocheting and sewing and her family will fondly remember her love for decorating elaborately for every possible season or occasion. Her grandchildren were her greatest treasure, and she loved keeping up with their activities. Rather than staying at home, Anna always enjoyed getting out and visiting her friends and family.

Anna is preceded in death by her parents, two brothers, Raul Peña and Ray Peña, two sisters, Elodia Peña and Eva Peña, a great grandson, Lucas Pritchett, and a nephew, Thomas Harris.

The family would like to give a special thank you to the caregivers at BSA Hospice of the Southwest, Myra, Jenica, D’Dee, Whitney, Lindsey, and Pam, for their wonderful and loving care of Anna.
