Ana Vasquez of Kingman, Arizona passed away peacefully on Nov. 4
surrounded by her family at the age of 69.

Ana was born on July 21, 1953 and was raised in Brownsville, Texas. Her
adventurous spirit led her all around the country, including New Jersey
at age 24 where she raised her children.

Her love of the west coast caused her to return in 1997 eventually
settling in Kingman, Arizona where she worked as a para educator at
Manzanita Elementary School of the Kingman Unified School District.

Ana lived life to the fullest. She was known for her passion and
independence. She had a unique ability to make an impression on everyone
she met with her remarkable candor.

She loved art, music and dancing, as well as family and friends. She
enjoyed her morning walks appreciating the simple beauty of nature and
was very happy relaxing at home surrounded by her pets. Her contagious
zest for life and words of wisdom will be missed by all who loved her.

Ana is survived by her husband Miguel Vasquez, her sister Juanita
Gonzalez, her brother Antonio Martinez and his wife Raquel, her sister
Manuela Rankin and her husband Tom, her brother Abel Martinez and his
wife Susie, her son and daughter-in-law Michael and Rachel McKenna of
New Jersey, her daughter Alexis McKenna of Kingman, her grandchildren
Elisabeth and Matthew, and eight nieces and nephews.

There will be no formal public service by Ana’s request. In lieu of
flowers and gifts to family, donations can be made to the American
Stroke Association at https://www.stroke.org/ or the Kingman Animal
Shelter https://www.friendsofmcas.org/.
