She married Leo Ritter and together they had 3 sons, Owen, Keith and Kim. In 1979 she was married to Darrell Stordahl at Our Saviours Lutheran Church in Butternut, MN and the two of them lived in Lake Crystal, MN before moving to Mankato. He was the love of her life and they built many wonderful years together and never left each other’s side!

While living in Lake Crystal Anna worked as a house keeper at the Mankato Clinic for 25 years. Darrell joined her for many of those years so they could do it together. She and Darrell also volunteered at the Mankato Salvation Army store where they worked lots of hours each week for 15 years. She enjoyed meeting new people and keeping the store organized!
