Anna Lois Peveler Southard, 75, of Utica passed away on Sunday, November 8, 2020 at Owensboro Health Regional Hospital. Mrs. Southard was born in Daviess County on September 1, 1945 to the late Willard and Lois Swihart Peveler. She devoted her early married life to raising her two daughters and taking care of her family. Around 1980, she began working as a CNA and later returned to school to earn her QMA (Qualified Medication Aid) certification. Being a caring and compassionate person, Anna provided special care to the residents of several nursing homes in Owensboro and Newburgh, Indiana. She loved reading, especially Stephen King novels, and had a special interest in the paranormal. Anna enjoyed going to Panama City, Florida and being at the beach. Most of all, she loved her family and being with her granddaughters.
