Anna Elizabeth Reimer, 76 of St. Leonard, Maryland passed away on November 27, 2010 at Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, D.C. Anna was born on December 8, 1933 in New Brunswick, NJ to John and Anna Papp of South River, NJ.

Anna as an infant had a special roommate that shared the nursery with her. They both shared the same year, month, and day of birth. Both were born in the same hospital and their mothers shared the same hospital room after giving birth. This special roommate would turn out to be Eugene Thomas Reimer, who would turn out to be her future husband, so they knew each other from day one.

Anna enjoyed many hobbies such as gardening and decorating the home for the Holidays. But most of all she was an avid photographer and Civil War enthusiast. She studied the Civil War extensively and played a civilian in the movie "Gods and Generals" and was invited to attend the premier in Richmond, Virginia. She also traveled from Maryland to New Mexico to see Civil War Battlefields and Plantations. While on these adventures she would take thousands of pictures to document the battlefields, and other Civil War historical locations. She was so true to the era that she adorn her front lawn with a field artillery gun and a 12lb. Confederate Napoleon Cannon.

Anna was predeceased by both her parents.

She is survived by her husband Eugene T. Reimer, and her children Eugene T. Reimer, Jr. and wife Susan of Yorktown, VA, Robert C. Reimer of Mount Holly, NC, Donald C. Reimer of St. Leonard, MD, Tinamarie Reimer of Washington, Diann Mishou and husband Gary of St. Leonard, MD, John J. Reimer and wife Justine of Lusby, MD, Leslie R. Bollinger and husband Steve of Leesburg, Fl, Frederick W. Reimer and wife Patty of Boca Raton, Fl, Neil A. Reimer of Prince Frederick, MD.

She is also survived by her grandchildren Michael and Lauren Reimer of Yorktown, VA, Robert Jr. and Geoffrey Reimer of Mt. Holly, NC, Gary Jr., Kyle, and Jacob Mishou of St. Leonard, MD, Rachael and Rebecca Reimer of Lusby, MD, Steven Jr. and Daniel Bollinger of Leesburg, FL, and Frederick Reimer Jr. of Boca Raton, FL, and her great grandchildren Hayden Reimer of Uncasville, CT, and Kole Mishou of St. Leonard, MD. , and her twin sister Marie Virgili of NJ.
