Ana was born on May 14, 1940 in Seville, Spain. She passed away peacefully at home with her family and friends at her side on March 2, 2007 after a courageous fight against cancer.

Ana is survived by her children Mari McBurney, Tina Stariha, Lawrence McBurney, Lee Ana Lagle, Jolon Gallegos and their families. She is also survived by a sister and brother in Spain, six grandchildren, and many cherished friends around the world.

As a young bride, Ana moved to West Seattle from Spain in 1964 and raised her five children in the area. In 1977 she opened Ana's Daycare Center where, over the course of 27 years, she touched the lives of hundreds of children who still remember her fondly. She was a truly amazing woman and our hearts will be forever touched by having had her in our lives.

A memorial service and celebration of her life was held at Boulevard Park Presbyterian Church.
