She is survived by her brother Sidney Herman (Sandra) of Regina and was predeceased by her brothers Max B. Herman (Pearl), Las Vegas and J.A.

Anna was born in Winnipeg on November 1, 1918, and moved as a young woman to Toronto where she married (Frank Wiseman), later returning west with her husband to Regina, where her brothers and sister had moved in the mid-1940s. She worked for the Secter group of companies for several years before she established a successful woman's retail clothing business in Regina and then Vancouver, before she moved to Las Vegas to work with her brother Max. She retired to Winnipeg, the city of her childhood, in the early 1980s. Anna will be sadly missed but fondly remembered by her surviving brother Sidney and sister-in-law Sandra, and by all her nieces, nephews, grand-nieces and grand-nephews. She is being laid to rest, as she always wanted, near her parents in Winnipeg. Funeral services will be at 12:30 p.m. on August 21 at the B'nai Abraham Cemetery, 4639 Main Street, West St. Paul, Manitoba (between Allenford Drive and Northumberland Road).
