Anna Mae Bland was born on March 7, 1911, a daughter of Aden B. & Margaret Jane (Jones) Bland in Savannah, Chatham County, Georgia. She was the sister of Sister of Hansell Elizabeth Bland (1907-1909); twins, Earl Bland (1914-1943) and Ernestine "Kitty" (Bland) Bennett Coxe (1914-2005).
In 1927 when her father died, they were living at 605 West 44th St. in Savannah, next door to his mother's sister, Mattie Brunson. Anna Mae "Ann" Bland married on June 19th, 1927, Sunday night, to Mr. Eason Winfred Donaldson in the presence of Mr. and Mrs. Lacy Nes Smith.
In 1939, mother Maggie, Earl, sister Ernestine & her daughter, Betty Bennett and Ann, no longer married, were all living at 515 NW 50th St. in Miami, FL. Later, she married Charles Mitchell around 1944. (Niece Betty Bennett Semple remembered that they were dating and married around the time her mother and Ann's sister, Ernestine Bland Bennett, got married to Russell Coxe in Nov 1943.) They had two children, Earl and Marlene.
Niece Betty Semple said she could really play the piano and could do "short-hand" as a stenographer. Betty's son, Jim Semple, Jr., commented, "I will always remember, as a boy, going to Florida from Texas and enjoying a Thanksgiving meal with Aunt Ann and family, with Turkey and dressing along with some ocean delicacies, like lobster. Only time in my life that ever happened and I really enjoyed it. Left a lasting wonderful memory".
