Obituary of Anna M. James

Elmira:  On June 14, 2024 the Lord gently enfolded his daughter Anna in His arms and carried her to her Heavenly home.  Anna was born in Dravosburg PA a daughter of Henry and Alice (Fisher) Klein.  She is predeceased by her husband Herbert F. James, son Daniel F. James, daughter and son-in-law Mary and Terry Sheehan, brothers and sisters-in-law, William and Frances Klein, Thomas and Faye Klein, sisters and brothers-in-law Dorothy and Randall Irwin, Margaret and Anthony Gabauer, Cleta and Anthony Jarzombek.

Anna is survived by her daughters and sons-in-law, Nancy Butler, Kathleen and Nicholas Frisk, Karen and Jim Osborn, Margaret and Tim Sullivan, all of Elmira; sons and daughters-in-law, James H. and Jackie James of Batesville IN, Charles H. and Lisa James of Little Rock AK; along with many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

Anna was a communicant of St. Mary’s Church, Southside.  A special loving woman who will be missed more than words can express, Anna was deeply loved by her family and friends and, with her passing, she takes a piece of our hearts.
