Anna Lynn Yejin Brunner
Passed away on Tuesday, October 20, 2022. She was 3. 
Anna Lynn of Collegeville was born in South Korea on August 17, 2019 and is the daughter of Joseph and Ji Hyun Lee Brunner.

It’s with a heavy heart that we share the passing of our beloved daughter, Anna. Anna passed away on October 20, 2022, after a nearly two-year battle with cancer. She was just 3-years-old. Our brave little girl fought with such strength and courage, and through it all, exuded positivity.

Anna was an amazing little girl with such a big personality, who captured the hearts of so many who came into her presence. Her smile and laugh were infectious and it brought us so much joy and happiness. Anna was so bright and impressed us each day with the new things she learned— ABC’s, counting numbers (and in Spanish), colors, shapes and songs. She had a strong desire to know and learn something by asking many times “What’s this?” She had a passion and love for dance and singing in tune to The Wiggles, Bounce Patrol, Simple Songs, and Bruno Mars “Uptown Funk”.She always asked for her shoes so she could get up and dance with energy. You could find her almost always with her favorite blanket, Cat. Most importantly, Anna loved God and prayed with her Mom and Dad. Through all the treatments (chemotherapy, radiation), all the side effects, Anna had never complained. She insisted to always stay happy and thankful amongst her family and relatives.  

Anna faced pediatric cancer with a resilience and fortitude that inspired all who knew of her story. She made friends and greeted others everywhere she went. Our precious Anna will forever be in our hearts.  

From the bottom of our hearts, we thank each and every one of you for the prayers, calls, texts, and donations to Anna’s cancer journey. We appreciate it more than you know.  

To our Oncology Team, the many doctors, nurses, child life specialists, our social worker, our case manager, Coram, and external services -- thank you.
