The oldest of eight children, she lived and attended school in Charles Mix, Brule and Bennett Counties. In 1936 Anna was united in marriage to Elmer Gillings, becoming a loving wife and step mother to his eight sons. Together they had one son, farming and raising their family of nine boys near Academy, SD for 44 years until Elmer's passing in 1980. She took pride in being a farmwife and mother, caring the best she could for her family through the Great Depression. Anna was a faithful member of the United Church of Christ in Academy and later, Bethel Lutheran Brethren Church in Platte, SD where she accepted Jesus as her personal Savior. She was also a member of the Church Woman's Fellowship, Campbell-Timmerman American Legion Post #115 Auxiliary since 1936, Platte Hospital Auxiliary and the Senior Citizens Heritage Club. She was very creative, enjoying crafting, quilting, sewing, knitting and baking. Anna loved visiting with her neighbors and friends while sharing kolaches she had baked and treasured time spent with her grandchildren. Those who knew Anna will remember her for her devotion to God, kind heart and loving spirit. She will be dearly missed by her family and all those who knew and loved her. We find comfort in knowing that she is now in heaven. Grateful for having shared in Anna's life: her son, Joseph Gillings of Platte, SD; a stepson, Alden Gillings of Arvada, CO; 22 grandchildren; numerous great and great-great grandchildren; along with many nieces and nephews.
