ANNA (Gugelchuk) STEPP of Sidney, Kentucky, passed this life at her residence Friday morning, April 22, 2022, at the age of 99 years, 5 months, and 21 days. She was born October 31, 1922, at Carry On, KY to the late Mike Gugelchuk and the late Mary (Walkowitz)Gugelchuk.

Anna was currently the oldest member of the Mt. Zion Freewill Baptist Church at Sidney, Kentucky. She attended worship service and Sunday School regularly until January 2022. She lived a simple life, cooking, sewing, babysitting, gardening, canning, and growing flowers from seed she had saved. When asked what she attributed her longevity to, she would always say, “Hard work, and I didn’t bother anybody.” She was always recalling her childhood days in the coal camps, especially at Toler and Hardy, Kentucky. She loved the people there, and most of them are deceased.

Visitation will be at 10:00 AM Sunday, April 24, 2022, at the church she loved so dearly, Mt. Zion Freewill Baptist Church at Sidney, Kentucky. Funeral service will follow at the church at 11:00 AM with Rev. Jerry Deskins officiating. Burial will follow at Mountain View Memory Gardens at Huddy, Kentucky.
