She was born on December 21, 2005, a daughter of Matthew and Carrie (Gaitley) Waage.

Anna attended Elkhart Lake-Glenbeulah schools. She loved running cross-country, playing soccer, and being involved with the school plays.

Anna played many instruments and loved all kinds of music. She was also an avid reader, a skilled writer and painter, with a passion to travel the world. She loved the thrill of going fast on the Sea-Doo, waterskiing, and other watersports at the family cabin.

She loved planning for future adventures with family and friends, and absolutely adored her pets: dog, Jovie and cat, August. Most of all, she loved spending time with her friends at school events and around town.

Survivors include: Her parents: Matthew and Carrie Waage; Sister: Megan; Brother: Anders (AJ); Grandparents: Julian “Butch” and Carol Gaitley; along with many aunts, uncles, cousins, other relatives and friends.
