In June 1957 while she was still in school, she met Chew Wing Wong. After 2 months of courtship, they married on August 5, 1957. She accompanied her new husband to Canada in September 1957 to settle in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, where she gave birth to and raised their two sons, Kenneth, and Franklin. Anna was a woman of faith, determination, resourcefulness, generosity, compassion, with a clarity of vision for her life. In addition, she was much sought after for her wise counsel. Family was at the core of her values, and with prayer and clear thinking, she took the circumstances of life and made a rich life for herself and her family.
