Anna Durham Boling, 56, died June 10, 2016.
Anna was born on July 2, 1959 to Mercer Clarence and Nell Wright Durham. She grew up in Union Point, Georgia where she attended the First United Methodist Church. Anna is a member of Grace Fellowship Church of God in Bogart, Georgia where she was active in Sunday School and her Small Group.
Anna graduated from Nathanael Greene Academy and went on to attend Emory University. Then, Anna attained her Juris Doctor from the University of Georgia. Most recently, she was a faculty member at the Carl Vinson Institute of Government at the University of Georgia.
Anna became ill in April of 2014. She battled her disease with ferocity, by relying on her faith in Jesus. Toward the end of her life, she received many visitors. As people reminisced about their life experiences with Anna, they testified that she was a strong, hard-working and loyal coworker and friend. More that anything, people talked about how Anna's faith in Jesus had impacted their lives.
Anna was a devoted wife and mother who always put the needs of her children and husband above her own. Her life was a testament of God's faithfulness working through a willing heart.
