Anna Lee Ravenscroft of Tulsa, OK and Anderson, IN passed away at age 95. She was born to Fred and Elsie Overshiner in Fairmount, Indiana. Anna Lee grew up on several farms in the area and graduated from Fairmount H.S. in1940. After two years at Ball State University, she met and married Lionel C Ravenscroft at Delco Remy in Anderson. They soon had a son, John, and daughter, Nancy. Lionel passed at an early age in 1954. Anna Lee worked in various school positions to make ends meet.
In 1961 Anna Lee married G.E. Ebbertt, Anderson School Superintendent and they attended many school functions in the USA and abroad. After his death she married Philip Ravenscroft, Lionel’s brother. Phil was a retired research chemist with Amoco and Stanford Research Institute.
After many years in Indiana, Anna Lee moved to Montereau in Tulsa in 2008 to be near her son and daughter-in-law. However, she was always a Hoosier at heart and was a big basketball fan.
She was loved by friends and family for her caring sacrifices and sense of humor. Anna Lee was a long-time member of many local clubs and functions. She was a real space enthusiast - saw the Wright brothers on an Indiana farm, met John Glenn, and now one of her grandsons is partly responsible for satellite positioning at Boeing. Quite a feat for a simple farm girl.

Rangeline in Anderson beginning with a greeting at 10:00 a.m., service at 11:00 a.m., followed by interment of ashes at Maplewood.
