Anna Louise Pense (Frame), age 87, passed away peacefully on November 5, 2025, in Atascadero, California. 

Born on May 24, 1938, in Atascadero, Anna spent her life rooted in the community she was born in. Her deep faith guided her throughout her life; she was a devoted Christian whose beliefs shaped her actions and relationships.

Anna was a loving wife to Don Pense, mother of four children: Ray Cotham III (1958-2024), Patrick Cotham, Leslie Cotham, and Stephanie Cotham-Sights, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Her family was the center of her world, and she cherished every moment spent with them. Her warmth and steadfast presence left a lasting impression on those who knew her. 

In accordance with Anna's wishes. No memorial service was held.

May her memory bring comfort to all who were touched by her love and devotion.
