Anna Lee (Roberts) Herrmann, age 74, passed away on January 13, 2024 at Jefferson Hospital. Born April 14, 1949 in San Antonio, Texas, she was the daughter of the late Edgar Roberts and the late Jean Louise Callewaert.

Cherished Nana of Trisha Ellwood, Daniel Ellwood, Morgan (Nick) Beneke, Tyler (Alex) Ellwood, Dalana Gebis, Nicole Ellwood, Brooke Gorman, Aiden Gorman, Ava Ellwood, and Darrin Gorman; great-grandmother of Kaeden, Adryan, Katelynn, and Jayce.

She was preceded in death by her son, Michael David Ellwood, and her sister, Leslie (Kevin) Bohannon. She is also survived by many nieces, nephews, and friends. Those who knew Anna will remember that her grandchildren and great-grandchildren brought her immense happiness, and her greatest joy was found in spending time with her family. Anna’s limitless kindness and caring brought many to regard her as family. She was ‘mom’ and ‘nana’ to many of the friends of her children and grandchildren. As a school bus monitor, she was the kindest of caretakers to her ‘children,’ going above and beyond to make their day special. Anna most loved supporting her grandchildren by attending their sporting events, performances, and celebrating their accomplishments with them. She enjoyed dancing, going to the beach, gardening, and baking sweet treats for her family. Anna leaves behind a legacy of generosity and love, and it was rare to find someone who didn’t just adore her, even after just a short meeting. Her family will forever carry the lessons of love and care that she brought to their lives. Friends will be received at the Wojciechowski Funeral Home, Glassport on Fri. from 6 to 8. Memorial donations are suggested to St. Jude Children’s Hospital or the Wounded Warrior Project.
