She met Bernard Anthony Litchfield, from Washington, D.C. in the choir (She played the organ) at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Rockville, MD where they were married in 1951.
Anna’s limitless energy was an inspiration to everyone. She made her children’s clothes, continued to play the organ at St. Raphael’s Catholic Church. While raising her family, she was a bookkeeper for several businesses, a paralegal for many years, and a real estate agent. She helped her children with homework and taxied them everywhere.
