Saratoga Springs, NY - Anna Theresa Koval passed into the loving hands of the Lord on February 10, 2016.  Anna was born in Brothersvalley, Pennsylvania on November 11, 1921 and was 94 years young!

She was predeceased by her parents, Mary and Paul Koval; her brothers, John, Stephen and Paul and a sister, Mary Bogus. Survivors include a sister, Elizabeth Dorsey of Saratoga Springs and many nieces, nephews, great- nieces, great-nephews and a great-great nephews.

Anna spent many years working for the General Electric Co. in Schenectady, as well as working on her family farm in the Town of Saratoga, raising and selling vegetables with her mother and sister in the summers in Saratoga Springs. After leaving GE, she became co-owner of Koval Farm and Garden Supply, Inc. in downtown Saratoga Springs, with her brother John.  Anna enjoyed waiting on customers, especially weighing out numerous bulk seeds for gardeners. She was a horsewoman at heart and was also part-owner of several Standardbreds at Saratoga Harness Track through the early eighties. She loved the Thoroughbred Raceway at the backstretch in the summer and would look forward to visiting with friends, trainers, owners and drivers, at both racetracks. Anna belonged to the Saratoga Harness Museum of Racing and the Women's Auxiliary Association.  After retirement, she spent winters in her Florida home in West Palm, and then later in Briny Breezes by the ocean.  Anna remained an avid gardener into her later years and made frequent visits in the summer to her family's dairy farm where she maintained a small vegetable plot. She prided herself on distributing fresh vegetables and sweet corn, grown on the farm, to her family and neighbors.

Anna's true devotion and purpose throughout her life was towards all of her family.  She became a caretaker to not only her parents, but also her siblings that have passed on. She continued this tradition by watching over her nieces and nephews.
