"Sweetie"
You will always stay in our hearts, not only were you a mother and a sister, but you were our best and trusty friend.
Your love for your family and friends made us all feel special. Your memories
will be left in our hearts and minds.
We shed a tear that is silent and grieve a sigh of regret for you were ours, we will remember when all the rest forgets .
Sleep on Sweetie, sleep on Jesus breast. We all loved you dearly, but God loved you best.

The Obituary
Anna L. Canady, daughter of the late Raymond and Orean Romans, was born in Philadelphia, PA on October 21, 1944.
Almighty God, in his infinite wisdom, saw fit to relieve Anna of this life's burden and come to Him in eternal rest and peace on Friday, September 2, 1994.
Anna who was also known as "Sweetie", received her education in the Philadelphia Public School System. "Sweetie" was united in holy matrimony to Edward A. Canady in June, 1966; to this union was born one son.
She worked for Sears, Roebuck for several years before gaining employment with the Philadelphia School Board, where she served for 24 years, her final department being Security Operations.
She was initiated into Fraternal Order of the Eastern Star Queen Alpha# 93. She was baptized at Mt. Zion Baptist Church in 1993.
"Through trials and tribulation Sweetie never lost her faith in God, never complaining, she kept on with the Master's Plan. God saw the road was getting rough and on Friday, Sept. 2nd, He said "Come home you deserve the sweet reward, for you gave your loving best."
She leaves to mourn: one son, Eric Canady, one brother Theodore, one sister Delilah Dixon; grandson Deonne; stepson Michael Lampkins, three sisters-in-law, Rita, Judy &Lorraine, one brother-in-law Lucius Dixon; seven nephews, Walter, Glenn, Michael, Kevin, Ondre, Derrick and Dion, one niece Theresa; three aunts and a host of other relatives and friends.
