Anna Jane Sansom

Anna Jane Sansom, age 88, died on September 8, 2024, in Georgetown, Texas.

She was born on July 28,1936, in Georgetown. She lived in Weir, Texas, while growing up and attending the Weir grade school, Georgetown High School and Southwestern University.

She was an honor graduate from Southwestern at mid-term of the 1958-1959 school year. She then began her teaching career in the New Braunfels school district.

She married Ray L. Sansom Jr. on July 2, 1960. She and Ray moved to Waco, where Ray studied and worked for the psychology department, at Baylor University.

She again taught school there for most of the years that the family lived in Waco. Their only daughter, Andrea Rayell Sansom, was born there just shortly before the family moved to Corona, California. Ray had accepted a job there with the Naval Fleet Missile Systems Analysis and Control Group.

A decade or so later the family moved back to Georgetown, to make it their final place of residence. Their only son, Shannon Macon Sansom, had been born in California. Later, Shannon married and had a daughter, Reagan Justine Sansom, giving Anna and Ray their only grandchild. She is a UT graduate and now lives and works in Austin.

Anna taught again in the Georgetown Public School System until her retirement several years ago. Anna loved playing the piano and played for several different churches over the years. She was a member of the Georgetown Seventh-day Adventist Church at the time of her death.

Mrs. Sansom was preceded in death by her husband, Ray L. Sansom Jr., and her parents, Macon Jones and Gladys Loreen Dill Jones. Burial was in the Weir Cemetery. A private, family service was held.

Honorary Pallbearers were all the many children (now, adults) which she had the privilege of teaching and loving over the years.
