Anna Mary Biser Fee, 94, died Wednesday, Jan. 9, 2013. She was born on April 14, 1918, during a spring snowstorm in the Razorback Mountains of Mineral County West Virginia.

Her parents, George E. Biser and Madora Lee Welch Biser, lived in an eight-room log home built in 1831 by her great-grandfather. She grew up with her sister, Wilda Biser Miller, and brother, Talbot Biser, in a house filled with music and art; both siblings have preceded her in death.

When Anna was 2, her mother and baby brother, John, died from childbirth complications. The family moved to Berkeley Springs, W.Va., where Anna went to school and graduated as salutatorian of her class. She moved to Washington, D.C., and worked at the S.S. Kresge Store, where she met her future husband, John Francis Fee. After her husband served in World War II, they moved to his hometown of Pittston, where they raised their four daughters, Barbara, Maureen, Teresa and Kathleen.
