Anna L. Duncan, age 88, of New Philadelphia, passed away Wednesday, November 18, 2020, in New Philadelphia’s Amberwood Manor.

Born November 12, 1932, in Dover, she was a daughter of the late Edward and Ruth Harper Berndt. Anna attended New Philadelphia High School, and, on August 29, 1949, married William R. “Bill” Duncan.

She and Bill were long-time volunteers at Atwood Lake Park, the Atwood Lake Fall Festival and the Twin City Nursing Home. The couple also enjoyed traveling - taking many bus trips over the years, and camping.

Anna is survived by three granddaughters, Nanette Roden, Michelle and Sarah Duncan; her sister, Kathleen “Sis” (Jim) Wilds; her many nieces and nephews; and her beloved dog, Scruffy.

Besides her parents, and her husband, Bill, Anna was preceded in death by her two infant daughters, Cynthia Rae and Mary Ann Duncan, and her two sons, Timothy A. and William E. Duncan.
