Faith had always been the cornerstone of Anna Kline’s life. She passed the importance of religion on to her family, especially her daughters. She wrote songs for church and taught Sunday School for many years. She always had a smile that would light up a room and spread her infectious joy. When people came over, she made sure that they left with their bellies full and kindness in their hearts. She enjoyed spending time with her nieces, nephews, her Sunday School children, and especially her grandchildren. She relished the time spent watching the deer and other animals in her back yard and enjoyed mowing the lawn.

On Dec. 22, 1966, Anna married Edward Kline; the two were married for 52 years.

The loving memory of Anna Kline will be forever remembered her husband, Edward Kline, North Manchester; her two daughters, Angela Kline, North Manchester; and Kimberly (Don) Orr, Rochester; one brother James (Barbara) Rutherford, Warsaw; one sister Mary Ann Wood, Warsaw; two grandchildren Anna Frantz, Warsaw; and PFC Aaron Orr, USMC.
