Anna Jacqueline Rhodes

Anna passed suddenly but peacefully Sunday morning August 10 in Andrey’s arms with her parents by her side. She is missed by everyone who knew her.

Anna was born in Santa Barbara on February 11,1987. She attended Monroe Elementary, La Cumbre Middle School and San Marcos High. She was a Wilhelmina model during high school. Anna graduated from SB City College and worked in retail fashion as a Personal Stylist, including Nordstrom and Diani Boutique, where she had many clients who were happy to have her guide them in their retail therapy. She loved fashion and with her warm and caring nature, her clients became friends. She loved her friends and family. She loved to laugh and dance. She loved all animals, especially her cats Hunter and Bentley. Everywhere she was, was brightened by her beautiful energy. She was incandescent and we all wanted to be in her light.

Anna is sorrowfully survived by her family, Janet and Tom, Matt and Kelly, Alycia and Preston, Joy, and our dear Andrey.

A Celebration of Anna’s Life will be held Saturday August 16 in the Rose Garden of the Santa Barbara Mission at 1pm.
