Anna Mae Dyken- Edwards was born on October 9, 1927 in Guernsey, Platte County, Wyoming to Earl and Anna Baker.  She was the baby of six children (four brothers, one sister).  When she was born the family called her little Mugs.  They called her Mugs from then on.   The Lord called her to heaven on June 8, 2021.

Anna graduated from Lingle High School in Wyoming.  She left home and became a secretary;  beginning in Wyoming with the State Department of Education and the U.S. Army Recruiting Station, both in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Shortly after WWII she moved to Richland, Washington and worked for General Electric.  She retired in 1989 from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.

Anna’s first husband, Lyle Dyken, preceded her in death in 2001.   They were married 53 years and together they raised three daughters, Sherry Dale Hardee, Jeanette Yarger, and Sue Eubanks.  Daughters, Sue and Sherry also preceded her in death; as well as Grandson, Brad Dale.

Anna is survived by husband, Everett  Jenne;  daughter, Jeanette Yarger and her  husband Frank;  and many grandchildren that she loved very much, Brent Dale (Dianne ),  Brian Dale, Stan Eubanks (Natalie), Jenay  Hanson (Kevin), Jeremy  Eubanks (Tara),  Jonathan Yarger (Daneille),  and Amber Eubanks.  She was called Gigi (Great Grandma) by the following, Haley and Josh Hanson; Tyler and Elijah Yarger; Slater, Clare, Madison, Zachary, and Carson Eubanks.

Anna loved to have fun (especially at the Wonder Woman slot machines); so we will! Her wish  for us was to be happy and have fun.   Please wear your favorite super hero T-Shirt/attire.  If you would prefer wear red, white, and blue.  She was a true patriot and loved America.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the USO or the Chaplaincy Hospice House in Kennewick.
