She attended State University at Albany, graduating with a Bachelor's Degree in Education and State University at Oneonta with her Master's Degree in Education.
She had professional memberships in the NY Teacher's Association and the NY Retired Teacher's Association.
She was energetically wooed by and married her long-time friend William "Bill" B. Myers in March of 1951. They began their life together in Cobleskill, N.Y. where she started her teaching career. Together they had four children; two sons and two daughters. She and Bill celebrated 64 years of happy and contented married life before Bill's death on April 23rd 2015.
After they purchased their first home on Carmen Road in Guilderland, N.Y. she continued with teaching in Schenectady, N.Y. until she and Bill returned to Witherbee, N.Y., built their new home and raised their family.

Anna enjoyed a lifelong love of gardening and during retirement dabbled in photography, pottery making and went on a variety of cruises with her hubby. Cooking was also a favorite activity, especially when she had the opportunity to try a new recipe. Other favorite past-times were completing puzzles and beating her family in competitive Scrabble games.
She was an active member of the Westport/Elizabethtown Garden Club, as well as the Red Hats.
Anna was a devout Catholic and served her parish as a Eucharistic Minister in church and to home-bound parishioners, and of course, she shared her love of flowers by helping to keep the altar decorated.
