Anika Kessler

It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of Ankia Kessler. She was born on Easter Sunday 2001 and returned to God's loving arms much too soon on January 25, 2025. I met Anika, her mom, and sister at our Virginia Meetup in August 2016. She was a very lovely lady full of life. She graduated from Stuarts Draft High School in 2019. She loved helping her mom run a booth at Stuarts Draft Antique Mall. She loved reading, watching cartoons, and old monster movies. She also loved to cook, ride horses, play baseball, camp, and swim. She is a member of Tabernacle Presbyterian Church.

Please keep her mom Monika, her dad Scott, and sisters Vanessa and Melissa in your thoughts and prayers in the coming days as they say goodbye to Anika.

God, please keep Anika safe and in your loving embrace until she is once again joined with her family in your kingdom. -Tim Smith
