Anna Ozment

(12 Sep 1905 - 20 Apr 1994)

Anna Ozment was born, the third child and first daughter, in a family of six children to John Vincent and Hester Ann Carpenter Ozment in Oklahoma in 1905. She married Samuel Silver Brown in Purcell, Oklahoma Jun 15, 1921 and had two children, John Wilbur Brown, who only lived three months due to a health issue with his stomach they could never diagnose, and a daughter Dorothy Jean Brown. They divorced and she later married James Albert Cunningham, Sept 15, 1932 in Arkansas City, Kansas and had six children. James Richard, Shirley Ann, Beverly Jane, Barbara Jane, Bruce Ronald, and Linda Joyce. They moved to California sometime after 1934 when Shirley was born and settled in the Los Angeles area. They divorced in 1947-final in 1948 and James disappeared from the family. Anna married 3 more times and spent her life working, helping family, and spending as much time as she could in her garden, which she loved. She raised her flowers, loved Roses, Tomatoes, Potatoes, Garlic and Strawberries until her death. She was actually on a trip to the nursery to check out plants for her garden when she started feeling sick, ask her daughter Shirley to take her home and passed shortly after of a masssive heart attack. 
She was the grandmother of 15 children, had furnished cemetery plots for 2 sons, a daughter and a grandson during her life. Her son Bruce told her to quit buying plots because they seemed to always get filled. 
She was a lovely lady of many talents and a loving and caring mother. She painted her own home exterior when she was 70, raised her own garden and flowers, Crocheted and started family genealogy at the time of her death. She was a wonderful mother-in-law to me and no one loved or respected her more than her son and my husband Bruce. I thank her for the way she raised him as no man ever respected or treated women better than he did and he was not afraid to show his love for me.
