Anna Lois Chrisman passed away Sunday, October 15, 2017 at the age of 85.

She was preceded in death in 2004 by her loving husband of 54 years, Pat H. Chrisman and two brothers Tom Shelton and Harold Shelton and his wife, Sue Shelton. Anna is survived by her two sons, Steven Chrisman and Philip Chrisman and her daughter Kristy Chrisman Reynolds, her husband Dr. Bryan Reynolds and their two children Connor Reynolds and Alexis Reynolds, her sister Billie Lou Partney and her brothers Charles Shelton and Jack Shelton.

Anna was born on January 5, 1932 to William Joe Shelton and his wife Annie Van Dyke. She grew up on a ranch and farm in Nocona, TX, where she met her future husband, Pat.

After spending most of her adult life in New Mexico, she retired from 25 years of retail sales, and with Pat moved to Frederick, Colorado, to be close to her children and grandchildren. Anna was a very devoted grandmother and spent a great deal of her time caring for and doting on her grandchildren.

A gifted piano player, who taught herself to play by ear, she began playing and singing in her church at the age of three. She could play whatever she heard by ear and enjoyed playing keyboard in a band in her later years at Johnson’s Corner and surrounding senior centers and in Texas with her brother. The friends and musicians she met during this time meant a great deal to her.

She will be missed by many, especially her children and grandchildren.

Services will be held in Nocona, TX at a future date. Cremation entrusted to Ahlberg Funeral Chapel and Crematory. Visit www.ahlbergfuneralchapel.com to share condolences.
