Anna Mae married Harold Dean Tipton in 1956, and the couple had four children.

Anna Mae worked in the banking field for many years, and also as a cashier at Walmart for 20 years – retiring at the age of 75.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Harold Dean Tipton Sr.; her son, Harold Dean Tipton Jr.; her parents, Lester and Dorothy Newlan; and Jerry Newlan.

Anna Mae was adored by many due to her inner strength, love she shared with others, and her amazing sense of humor.
