Aneda also worked at Queen of Heaven Cemetery. She eventually made her way to sales for manufactured homes of which this is where she retired from. Aneda was known for being a "go-getter" and with her high energy she never could be one to sit around the house. Even when she retired she found a part-time position at Walmart to keep her busy. 

Aneda married the love of her life, William Allen in April of 1962. In his retirement from General Motors they relocated to Mesa, Arizona in 1994.

While in Arizona being the devout Catholic she was she was a member to St. Ann's Catholic Church and was a past president of the Arizona Manufactured Homes Association. 

She was an avid reader and in her younger years she enjoyed dancing and singing. She kept her mind active by playing cards games, dominos and trips to the casino.

Above all she cherished her family and adored her grand and great grand children.
