We are raising funds in honor of Dr. E. Anna Pater, a deeply loved mother, physician, and member of the community whose kindness touched countless lives. Anna passed away unexpectedly following a car accident, leaving behind family, friends, colleagues, and patients who all valued her compassion and dedication.

Anna was creative and artistic and shared her brightness with others around her. Her smile lit up the room. She loved the outdoors and especially loved skiing. She had a beautiful garden that she was very proud of. There are so many wonderful things to say about her and she will be missed by everyone.

We hope to create a memorial bench in her honor as a peaceful place to sit, reflect, and remember her. We would also like to donate a tree in her name if funds allow. Donations will also be used to support with the costs of her funeral and arrangements. We will use any remaining funds to make a donation to the hospital foundation in her name. If you would like to contribute, we are grateful for any support. We also welcome those who would like to share memories of how Anna impacted their lives. Thank you for helping us honor someone who gave so much of herself to others.
