Ana was born Pachuca Hidalgo, Mexico to Hermenegildo Corona Perez and Ascencion Velasquez de Corona on October 2, 1948. One year ago, she had a large gathering to celebrate her 70th birthday with family and friends and gave a beautiful speech, an excerpt of which follows:

At a certain point in life, everything slows down and stops. What was a mighty river, becomes a stream of peace and that stage is Maturity; Because maturity is welcome!
I managed to arrive, not everyone arrives, so I thank God for it, and to CELEBRATE IT!!!
At this stage, doubts and uncertainties cease. Definitely what we were going to BE, we already are, there are no more competitions! The age of the impulses taken away is over!
Personally, and as far as I am concerned, discovering the arrival of MATURITY has fascinated me, and it fills me with joy, and much gratitude, I never imagined that it was so!
Every day I discover new surprises and satisfactions that never exist!
When I turn 70, I thank God for having reached this age! Thank you for my Parents, they showed me the path I had to follow in life, and I am confident that when the WINTER of my life arrives, "if I arrive" GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF ME !!!”

Ana lived life with wonder, celebration and love. She enjoyed her life in Hawai’I and the ocean, rainbows and beautiful sunsets that were a part of her days. She was a caring nanny for a family with five children who considered her their adopted grandmother and valued member of their ‘Ohana.

Ana is survived by her sister Loida Corona, brother-in-law Alejandro Corona, and two nieces: Analizbeth Sanchez and Abigail Sanchez Corona.

In lieu of gifts, the family is asking for donations to the Kona Hispanic Seventh-day Adventist Church.
