Anna Cash, 93, of Statesville, N.C., who was affectionately known as “Sissy” to many, passed away peacefully at the Gordon Hospice House of Statesville on July 25, 2024.
Anna was born on December 14, 1930, in Iredell County to the late Jesse Dawson Ostwalt Sr. and Flossie Mae Sowers Ostwalt. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband of 57 years, Harry Cash; her daughter, Tammy Cash Powell; five brothers, Jesse Dawson Ostwalt Jr., Calvin Zane Ostwalt Sr. and Sam Ostwalt, Max Ostwalt, and Frank Oswalt; one grandson, Dwight; and one great grandson, Chief.
In her earlier years, Anna worked at Purcells as a soda jerk and later kept the children in the neighborhood. She always loved being in her garden and rocking on her front porch. She was always ready to teach anyone about growing and canning anything in the garden. Anna never met a stranger and loved talking to people and telling jokes.
Those left to cherish her memory are her son, Todd Cash and Mark Cash; granddaughters, Kammie Payne (John), Kaycee Powell, Anna (Shellie) Addair, and Kristi Powell; and a great granddaughter, Jupiter Cash. She is also survived by a sister-in-law, Carolyn Ostwalt.
A private service will be held for the family at a later date. Memorials may be made to the Gordon Hospice House, 2341 Simonton Road, Statesville, NC 28625.
Troutman Funeral Home is serving the family.
I knew Anna when she came to Edith Warren’s beauty shop and I helped as her assistant. We had a good time when Anna was around. God bless the girls. You are all in my prayers.
