Anna Huntington Deming, 91, died January 26, 2014. Predeceased by her brother George, son Hunt and husband John, she is survived by her brother Charles, sons John (friend Christine) and George, and daughter-in-law, Katharine with granddaughters Rachel, Kate and Anna, and many cousins, nieces and nephews. Anna was educated at Foote School and Prospect Hill in New Haven and Swarthmore College. During WWII she was a foreman at JBT Instruments making reed frequency meters for aircraft. At war's end she worked for the American Red Cross in Germany and France, returning to New Haven to work as Secretary to the Director of the Yale Art Gallery. Married in 1948, her time was spent devoted to her family and later, caring for her mother. Still, she was much involved in her church and community. Anna continued her interest in world peace through her involvement with the U.N., the International House at Yale and Round the World Women. Beginning her volunteer training through the Junior League, she served at Traveler's Aid, the Rehabilitation Center (now Easter Seals Goodwill) and the Child Welfare Association. With her family she was involved with the Vantage Group, Farnam Neighborhood House, Fellowship Place and the Garden Club of New Haven while enjoying the Long Wharf Theatre and the New Haven Symphony Orchestra. Anna was adored for her humor and wisdom as well as her fabulous cooking.
