Our beloved wife, mother and grandmother, Ana Brunner, 70, passed away peacefully March 31, 2004, at home, surrounded by her loving family. She was born May 10, 1933 in Santos, Sao Paulo, Brazil to Vicente and Elvira Marba Pereira.

After studying at BYU, she became a personal secretary until her children started to arrive and she happily became a homemaker for the rest of her life.
Ana was a naturalized U. S. citizen who loved America. She loved the gospel, studying the scriptures, cooking for her family and raising roses. She loved music and playing the piano. She served faithfully as Primary President, Achievement Day leader, Relief Society instructor, temple ordinance worker and always a chorister. She was also a loyal BYU fan.
