Anna Pinney Longacre Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Our loving and kind mom, grandmother, and great-grandmother passed away peacefully the morning of June 28, 2013 in Draper, Utah at the age of 91. Anna was born November 1, 1921 in Marion, Indiana along with her twin sister Evelyn to Frank Pinney and Margaret Simmon Pinney. They moved to Southern California in the late 1920’s due to her mother’s health. On her 21st birthday, Anna met Lt. Robert H. Longacre on a blind date, and they were married January 23, 1943 in Glendale, California. Anna and Bob raised their family in Gardena, California. Our Mom was actively involved in the lives of her family and community. One of her pleasures was to coach the young ladies who were running for the title of Miss Gardena. She was the executive officer of the Gardena Board of Realtors for 30 plus years and enjoyed the friendship of the members. Our mom was just fun to be around! Anna moved to Draper, Utah in April 2010 to live with her son Rob, his wife Renee, and be close to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren in Utah. Preceded in death by her husband Bob, she is survived by daughter Dona Longacre of Rancho Santa Margareta, California, son Rob (Renee) Longacre of Draper, Utah, five grandchildren, and fourteen great-grandchildren. A memorial service was held Sunday, June 30, 2013 at the Draper 12th ward, and a graveside service will be held at Sycamore Lake in Rose Hills, Whittier, California on July 13, 2013. The family of Anna is grateful for the loving care she received at the Draper Rehabilitation and Care center the last months of her life.
