Anna Lou graduated from the University of Utah in 1949 with a Bachelor of Arts degree majoring in Sociology. She was awarded a scholarship to complete a graduate certificate in Social Work in 1950. Anna Lou married Donald Reeder Jeffs on August 16, 1949 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. They began their life in Salt Lake City, Utah and moved to Sacramento, California for fourteen years before returning to Logan, Utah for Donald's work.

The school became her enduring legacy, continuing to touch the lives of many children and families.
Above all Anna Lou was a principled woman of great integrity who loved her Savior and was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She prized the Holy Scriptures, cherished her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and sought diligently after her beloved forebearers.
