Michael, Archangel, Patron
Saint of the Police, pray for
Amanda and for Ethan who
has lost his mother
Her former husband, Deputy Jonathan Anna, stated that Amanda knew everyone and everyone in Fair Haven knew Amanda; She was very talkative, friendly and very good with people. Her community was important to her, and she worked hard at everything she did, which helped her succeed. He also stated that she was a great mom to their son. 

Friends stated that Amanda was competitive and hard working and that she was always willing to give you a hug. 

Amanda is survived by many loving friends and relatives including her mother and step-father, Florence and Frank Wallace; her 4 year old son, Ethan Charles Anna; two step-brothers, Vernon and Craig Wallace; her former husband, Deputy Jonathan Anna; and her fiance, State Trooper Andrew Lodge. 

Pray for all who die in the line of duty. 

Let us pray that Amanda Anna is in heaven. Let us pray that she is at peace and is with God. Amen.
