Anna Fay Connell began her earthly journey on February 15, 1934. She was born to Christopher and Goldie Worley and became a sister to 10 other siblings: June, Orville, Hazel, Pauline, Junior, Bill, Leonard, Joe, Opal and Jimmy. Her life started humbly with a family who worked their small farm and other jobs just to make ends meet. Anna herself worked over the years in many positions. Most of her working life was in the field of factory work with the H.D. Lee Company and then in later years in the home health care field of service. Anna was married for 40 years to the late James A Connell of Hartville, MO. Anna and James became parents to James M Connell and Angie Connell Nordquist. Anna is survived by her son James and wife Vicky and their children and grandchildren: Kristy Paine and spouse Scott Paine and their children Adayln and Dylan of Seymour, MO as well as a son Devon Connell all of Hartville, MO. Anna is also survived by her daughter Angie and husband Jeff Nordquist of Hartville, MO and their children and grandchildren: Jessica Cottengim and spouse Aaron Cottengim and their children Jack and Everlee of Marshfield, MO; Jennifer Tennison and spouse Kyle Tennison and their son Nolan of Sparta, MO. Anna chose many years ago to make her home in Ellsinore with a friend, Gene Haussel. Her choices in life took her down many roads and she met many people whose lives she impacted along the way. As her health declined over the last few years of life and her memory and physical body failed; she still made certain to tell every she saw how much she loved them. Anna gave her life back to the Lord on Friday the 29th of November 2019, and left this earth in the early morning hours of December 4, 2019 at the Hartville Care Center. She was buried at a small graveside service at White Hills Cemetery outside Ellsinore, MO. May her legacy be to love with a true heart and show grace to all who share your life.
