Anna Galaviz Silva, of Camarillo, CA, was called home to our Lord on April 7, 2023. She was surrounded by her family and loved ones.

Anna was born to Celedonio and Domitila Galaviz on July 20, 1952 in Jalisco, Mexico. In 1964, at the age of 11, she, along with her parents and six siblings moved to Somis, CA. She was a proud graduate of Camarillo High School in 1971. Upon graduation, Anna became the first member of her family to become a US citizen, an accomplishment she was very proud of. Anna was very instrumental in helping her parents purchase their only home and helping her siblings set roots in Camarillo. She was proud of her siblings and was often looked at as a Motherly figure who could be looked to, to make decisions on behalf of the family. In 1981, Anna met her best friend Michael Silva, who would then become the love of her life. They married on May 26, 1984. Their union would give them 2 children that she loved dearly and 8 beautiful grandchildren that were her pride and joy. She was a loving Nana who loved spending time with her grandchildren. There wasn't anything she wouldn't do for them. She was always so proud of them and their accomplishments. Her favorite was showering them with gifts, especially on their birthdays and Christmas. She loved attending their sporting and school events and was always their loudest fan. Anna was a strong woman of faith and was a devoted member of Love International Outreach Fellowship for 34 years.

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day- and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing." 2 Timothy 4:7-8
