Portrait of Anna Mae (Hupp) Richards as a young woman.
Anna was born in Strasburg, the daughter of David William Hupp and his second wife, Margaret Anne (Hines) Hupp. Her father was a well-known Volunteer Fire Chief in Strasburg.
Anna Mae grew up on North Massanutten Street and her father worked as an engineer for the railroad.
By 1930, her mother had died. Anna Mae and her younger sister, Irene Elizabeth (1924-2000), lived with their father, paternal grandmother, Amanda, and her father’s cousin, 68-year old Mary E. Hupp.
Ten years later, Anna worked as a clerk in a “ten-cent store” and lived with her family on West King Street, still in Strasburg.
She married Glenn Ivor Richards (1914-2009) in 1941. He was a radio operator and served in the U.S. Navy. His parents were Ivor Glenn and Pheobe (Evans) Richards from Pennsylvania.
Anna Mae and her husband had a daughter, Donna (Richards) Roberts. The couple spent decades together and lived in Houston, Texas, at the time of their deaths. Both are buried there.
