Anna L. Green

Anna L. Green, 83, of Kersey, passed away peacefully on Thursday, May 14, 2026, at Elk Haven Nursing Home following a lengthy illness.

She was born on June 17, 1942 in Brookville, PA, a daughter of the late Charles and Lucille Corbett Deemer.

On May 19, 1962, she married the late William Green, who preceded her in death on March 26, 2015. Together they shared more than 52 years of marriage.

Ann was a lifelong resident of the area and a graduate of St. Marys High School.  She was a longtime and active member of the Ridgway Nazarene Church for many years. A faithful and dedicated member of the Fox Township Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary, Ann enjoyed the many friends she made over the years serving fish fry and helping the fire department.
She was a woman with a heart big enough to care for anyone in need, lovingly fostering 14 children over the years and touching countless lives through her kindness and nurturing spirit. She dedicated much of her life to caring for others as a personal care aide, a role that suited her compassionate nature perfectly. At home, Ann found joy in tending to her gardens, canning the fruits of her labor, and surrounding herself with the beauty of lilacs and carnations, her favorite flowers. She was known for her spunky personality, quick wit, and the laughter she brought wherever she went. Residents and staff alike at the local nursing home looked forward to hearing her sing and yodel for friends, always bringing smiles to those around her. Years ago, she also proudly served as a Girl Scout leader, helping guide and inspire young girls in her community. Ann cherished her collection of cardinal figurines, which reflected her love for simple joys and meaningful treasures. Her vibrant spirit, caring heart, and spunky personality will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

She is survived by one son; John Green, of Kersey, PA; and by her one beloved grandson; Damien Nelson. She is also survived by five siblings; Marsha (Rodger) Beck of Weedville, Mike Deemer of Kersey, Bruce Deemer of Erie, Kelly Deemer of Ridgway, and Jerry (Diane) Deemer of Kersey, as well as by numerous nieces and nephews.

In addition to her parents, Anna was preceded in death by two siblings; Charles Deemer, Jr., and Janet O'Brien.
