Anna- I'll miss the way you would get so tickled and couldn't control your hearty laugh! Friday's Taco soup and Golly Whopper sandwiches won't be the same without you! Rest in Peace. To the Watson Family- I count myself truly blessed in having the opportunity to work with and know Anna. She was my first trainer at Cigna and became a good friend. May God's love and presence provide you with comfort during this time. |

I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Anna at CIGNA - I do miss her laugh and the southern drawl that came out on the phone...she was a classy lady! |

Please accept our deepest sympathies from the Curtis family for all members of the Watson family. I am so sorry for your loss of Anna, and your mother also. I did not realize she had passed on; we lost our mom 3 years ago and our hearts and prayers go out to you, your family and friends. May God comfort each of you at this time, and provide you the peace which surpasses all understanding. |

We send our condolences to the family of Ms. Watson. We, in the service dept. of Mtn. View Nissan thought of her more as a friend than a customer. Always with a smile on her face, she was a joy to be around. |

Dear Watson Family, you each are in my thoughts and prayers as you mourn the passing of one special lady gone too soon.We had a ball growing up together. The long days at Jr. Lake with Doris and the kids. We ate mayo sandwiches at we rode in the back of the station wagon home. We sang silly songs. Joyful happy youthful days. Special blessed days. Anna was the Bette Midler of Chattanooga--full of life and wit. Above all, a deep passionate love and pride of family... always. Anna loved you all so dearly. She told me how you all showed up to clean her house not too long ago.She was amazed and we talked about how very blessed we both were to have siblings you call friend-not common in today's world. God's Peace to you, God's Peace to sweet dear Anna, Sandy |

Anna was one of my best friends back in the day. We took Russian language and a couple of other courses at the same time. We kept up with each other off and on but it’s been about six years since our last exchange of cards, and since the last five-year reunion we saw each other. This breaks my heart to hear, but thank you very much for passing the news my way. |
