Born in Czattkau, Kreis Dirschau, West Prussia, in the German Empire (today, Czatkowy, Poland, near Tczew, southeast of Gdansk). Emigrated as a child with her family on the S.S. Chemnitz from Bremen to New York in late 1904, settling in Syracuse. Worked as a maid in Syracuse 1914-15. Married Alfred Roy Caine c. February 1918. They had one daughter, Dorothy, born in 1919. But by 1930 Anna and Alfred had separated.
Anna worked as a bookkeeper for the Heffernon construction company in the Syracuse area, until she got laid off during the Depression. For a time (c. 1930-32) she worked as the manager of an apartment house in Syracuse. Incorrectly thinking there'd be more work in New York City, she and Dorothy moved to New Jersey, living in Newark and then Belleville from about 1932 until Anna died there of cancer in 1937.
Anna was remembered as "all right" and "a good Joe" by one friend who knew her, and who said, of all the Lipke kids, she and Jack knew best how to have a good time.
