Anna is also survived by the love and advocacy she showed for the patients she worked with as a physical therapy assistant with Barnes-Jewish Extended Care. She was a healer who could bring houseplants back to life through sheer patience. She was a proud Scorpio who loved music, dancing, and flora and fauna of all kinds, and she was unapologetically outspoken about social justice matters. She adored her son and never missed a chance to talk about his smartness and sense of humor. Anna thrived on human connections and made new friends at every turn. Her bright, bold presence in this world will be dearly missed.
