Anna Louise Fagan of Heathrow, Florida passed away on October 30, 2018. She was 88 years old. She was born in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania on October 23, 1930. She had fond memories of growing up in Spring Mills, PA with her parents Harry and Moria Finkle, her two sisters, Colleen and Moria Joan, and her Aunt Mable and Aunt Ruth.
Anna married the love of her life, Frank Nelson Fagan on June 11, 1950. They were happily married for 68 years. Whenever they sat next to each other, Frank would hold his wife's hand. She was a loving and devoted mother to her five children; Theresa Fagan, Frank Fagan (Ann), Nancy Krulla (Armin), Michael Fagan (Joan) and Ginger Smyder (Jim). Later in live, she was overjoyed to welcome eight grandchildren and six great grandchildren.
Anna was the embodiment of a true gentile Lady from a bygone era.
She was honest, kind, steadfast, generous and loved unconditionally.
She loved Christmas. She believed the sentiment given by the famous author, Charles Dickens "To keep Christmas well." Her Christmas dinners and apple pie were stuff of legends Every Christmas morning her children were greeted by her exquisitely decorated Christmas tree, and copious amounts of presents under the tree.
She loved to laugh especially at her own jokes. She loved Tiffany lamps and beautiful art. She loved her dogs. She loved Her Florida home. She especially loved the view of the lake behind her house. She often would remark on a sunny day, "Look outside at the lake, isn't it beautiful? It looks like a sea of diamonds." Anyone present had to agree, it was beautiful.
But more than anything, she loved her family, her husband and children. She gave each endless support, encouragement, and love to last a lifetime.
In lieu of flowers, she would mostly ask to for everyone to: "Keep Christmas well, and live and love everyday as if it were Christmas Day."
