Ana was born on June 21, 1949, in Canton, China to Hen Yan and Lucila Yuen Lee. She attended college at Bradley University of Illinois, where she met and married Randy Rhodes. Ana was talented, speaking 3 languages, degreed in accounting, and gifted in art, sewing, and writing, but devoted much of her time to her family. She showed resilience and strength fighting health issues throughout her adult life. When speaking of the challenges, she stated, “I’ve learned to trust in God…. He is good and merciful. He is my rock and my salvation.”
