Anna (Anne) S. Wood, age 96, of Chautauqua, NY, died June 6, 2014, while staying with her daughter Linda in Pennsylvania. She was preceded in death by her husband Homer (Bud) Wood, who died in 2004 at the age of 86 after 63 years of marriage, and by her daughter Gwendolyn, who died shortly after birth in 1940. She is survived by her children; Judy (Jim) Sargeant of Westerville, OH, Linda (Bernie) Keisling of Port Matilda, PA, and Doug Wood (Kay Holsinger) of Ann Arbor, MI. Other survivors include grandchildren, Sue (John) Southard of Sequim, WA, Karen (Andy) Shih of Beaverton, OR, David (Shea) Keisling of Glenmoore, PA, and Gretchen (Randy) Johnson of Longmont, CO; great-grandchildren Justin and Julia Shih, Sean Southard and Dani Kaminski-Southard, Bryan, Liam, and Anna Keisling, and Payton, Samantha, and Michael Johnson.

Anne was born in 1917 in Pittsburgh, PA as the second of five children born to Wadeh and Grace Sarraf. She moved to Chautauqua in 1990 following her husband's retirement. Throughout her life, Anne was known as a wonderful seamstress and homemaker, and organizer of school, church, and scout activities. Part of her legacy was her strong faith, and the leadership she gave to the Prayer Fellowship of Hurlbut United Methodist Church in Chautauqua. Another was the sharing of her home and heart with a multitude of family and friends over the years.
