Anna Pauline Gallagher Aspinall, age 101, of Portersville, peacefully passed away with her family by her side at Concordia, Cabot on Wednesday, April 22, 2020.
Born January 29, 1919 in Rose Point Lawrence County, she was the daughter of the late William Chalmers and Anna Margaret Wagner Gallagher.
In the late 1930’s, she was a waitress at the former Prior’s Truck Stop in Portersville, where she met her husband of 63 years. She then became a homemaker.
Her greatest love was her family, and she was always looking forward to family reunions. She enjoyed the outdoors, especially watching and feeding the birds and hiking at McConnell Mills with her grandchildren.
Her hobbies were crossword puzzles, playing board games and dominoes with her family.
