ANNA R. GRIFFIN, 86, lifelong resident of Fort Wayne, went to be with Jesus on Thursday, July 22, 2021, surrounded by her loving family members. Born in Liberty, Ky., Ann was a daughter of the late Retha B. Cox and Elvin D. Murphy.
She was known for her love for the Lord and everyone she ever met. She loved baking cookies for everyone. One of her favorite quotes was, "Jesus first, cookies second." She was a powerhouse of love and a pillar of strength. "She taught us all how to navigate the world in the most genuine way.
