Anna’s obituary:

Anna May Danko, 71, passed away Sunday September 8, 2019. She was born on November 18, 1947 in Monongah daughter of the late Mike and Mary Chismar Danko.

 

Her soul has outgrown her body; leaving earth to her kingdom with God and family alike. Her unconditional love is still very much alive and continues to grow with the many people she has inspired throughout her time on earth. 

 

She was born and raised in Monongah WV. She loved working on the family farm in her youth. She attended Fairmont State College, and married to Seifollah Ghalkhani of Iran. She is survived by her son Hassan Andrew Danko and his companion Katie Fisher. Also surviving are two brothers Michael and Robert Danko.

 

In addition to her parents she is preceded in death by her three sisters Helen Danko, Donna Danko and Mary Ann Evanson and two brothers John Peter Danko and George Danko.

 

Anna has always given from her bottomless heart to inspire, guide and teach others with genuine compassion, and wisdom. She was devoted to God with prayer and Sunday morning Mass at Holy Spirit Catholic Church.  She practiced what she believed by having a close relationship with God, and helping anyone without hesitancy. 

 

Anna, may your heart and soul continue to live through the inspiration you have left all of us with. We will always love you. We pray in your memory to have eternal life with God, your husband, and family.
