She was born October 23, 1926 in Pocomoke City, a daughter of the late Herbert Groff, Sr. and Mollie Mills Groff. Anna's strong work ethic began in her early days as she started her career as a secretary at Nock's Hatchery in Snow Hill, while still a senior in high school. Later she worked as a bookkeeper for E.

She was a longtime member of Trinity United Methodist Church and Bowen United Methodist Church in Newark. Favorite pastimes were reading, crocheting, playing Canasta, crossword puzzles, dominos, making afgans as gifts and delicate lace tablecloths for very special friends. She loved dining out with her best friend Betty Bradford Groton and playing cards with Lola Marie Bradford, Edith Dryden and Virginia Timmons. She will be remembered as a child of God, who touched so many lives as a daughter, sister, wife, mother, mommom, great grandmother, aunt, and to everyone a friend.

Pearson, and Michael W. Sirman and wife Jennifer; great grandchildren, Trey Wells, Colbey Sirman, Lane Sirman, and Wyatt Sirman; brother, Ron Groff and wife Renee; and sister-in-law, Joanne Trader Groff.
