Ann Bearden

Ann Bearden passed away peacefully in San Saba, Texas on Thursday, January 12, 2023 at the age of 100.  Ann was born on October 4, 1922 in Bogata, Texas in Red River County to Samuel Henry and Mary Algia (Taff) Craven.

In 1927, Ann arrived with her family to San Saba in a covered wagon.  She attended school in Live Oak Community, Algerita, and graduated from San Saba High School.  August 13, 1942 she married J M Bearden. She worked at Harry's Department Store for ten years before taking a job at the Sherriff/ Tax Assessor Collector office where she retired.

Ann loved her family, her church, and the people of San Saba.  She enjoyed attending reunions visiting with family and friends.  She faithfully attended 2 nd Wallace Street Church of Christ.  She was blessed by her community and hopefully you were thanked with a pecan pie.

One could find Ann outdoors in her yard.  Well into her 80s, she mowed her lawn with a push mower carefully avoiding all wild flowers.  She loved the birds, especially the cardinals, and spent many hours watching them at San Saba Nursing Home.

Ann was preceded in death by her parents, husband, three brothers; George, Sam, and Nellum, one sister, Winona Gage and son-in-laws Jerry Williams and Byron Reno.

She is survived by her three children; daughters Mary Williams of Burnet, and Jymie Reno of Buchanan Dam, and son Chuck Bearden and wife Karla of Mason: grandchildren Jeriann and James Moore, Ronnie and Kelly Holmes, Jeremi and Leasha Homes, and Kathy and Brett Loeffler: great-grandchildren Hunter, Rowdy, Breck, Kailey, Kamryn, and Trevor and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.

The family would like to thank the staff of San Saba Nursing Home and Solaris Hospice for their great care.
