Anna Mae McLane McCracken, 71, of 20051 Talon St., Meadville, died and went to be with the Lord Wednesday, August 30, 2006 at her residence following a short cancer illness.

She was born in Avonmore June 8, 1935, a daughter of the late Irad and Florence C. Weeter Wensel.  She married James R. McCracken July 29, 1967 and he survives.

Anna was an active member of First Church of God where she was involved in the nursery, helping with MOPS, folding bulletins, small groups, and their 50 plus group.  She was always willing to lend a hand when it came to special dinners and was known for bringing her calico beans.

Anna always lived life to the fullest by enjoying activities focused around her family and friends.  She was always a wonderful example as a wife, mother, and grandmother.  She will be remembered for her generosity and kind heart as she touched the lives of all she met until the end.  She has been a mother to many kids in her community as her children grew up.  An inspiration of spiritual dedication, she was the rock of the family, always checking in on her family to make sure all was alright.  Her grandchildren remember the filled cookie jar over the years and her love of the outdoors.  She enjoyed her flower garden, yard, and being a vendor at area flea markets.
