Mrs. Anna Stanalis of Coaldale, Pennsylvania, passed away peacefully Monday, May 13, 2024 at age 104.
Anna lived her entire life in the Panther Valley area, the daughter of Slovak immigrants.

She was a devoted parishioner of St. John’s Slovak Lutheran Church, where she was involved in the Ladies Aid Society and the church’s quilting guild.

Anna enjoyed traveling with her husband and family, circumnavigating the US by road trip. She remained connected with her Hungarian and Slovakian relatives and traveled through much of Europe as well.
Anna was predeceased by her beloved husband of 65 years, John Bernard Stanalis, a WWII veteran of the US Army; her parents, Michael and Anna (Danek) Hudasky, and her siblings, John Hudasky, Mary (Hudasky) Hiza, Julia Hudasky, and Michael Hudasky, Jr.
Anna was a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She is survived by her children, Elizabeth Panchura, wife of Michael Panchura of Sterling, Virginia and Susan Bydlon, wife of Frank Bydlon of Williamsburg, Virginia.
She was the loving and devoted grandmother to 3 grandchildren: Carly Panchura, of Los Angeles CA, Mark Panchura, of Baltimore, MD and Meghan Bydlon Kinnear, of Richmond, VA, and one great granddaughter, Chloe Pearl Kinnear, of Richmond, VA.
