Mary E Anaya
Age 42 - Oct 21, 2009
Omaha. Went to be with the Lord. Mary was dedicated to her Lord and
was known for her strong character and commitment to the work of
helping those in need. There was nothing that could stop her, she
wasn't afraid of challenges. She had a heart for helping people.
When the Anaya's first started the Mission for All Nations they were
determined to make whatever sacrifices were needed to see it succeed
in order to feed, clothe and minister to those in need. Even with
all that they had to do, Mary was always known to go out of her way
to seek out people who she knew needed encouragement and a helping
hand. Many have said she was one of the most compassionate people
they ever knew. She was a loving mom to everyone and was always trying
to figure out how to help people and provide everything they needed
even if it meant she would have to go without in order to give to
others. Mary was a special individual who not only was a wife but
a mother of 10 beautiful children. She did a superb job at managing
her family life alongside the largest food pantry operation in the
state of Nebraska. Her family and Mission for All Nations are a testimony
of her incredible and unique talents and abilities. Her passion for
life and others kept her focused and continually striving to meet
God's calling for her life. Survived by husband, Josue Anaya of 23
years; parents, Sherman and Betty Mills; children, Joshua, Jeremiah,
Rachel, John, Judah, James, Rhema, Rosa, Justus and Joel Anaya; sisters,
Bonnie Kerber and Deborah Shively; brothers, Stephen (Cindy) Mills,
John Mills and Daniel (Joni) Mills.
