Anna is the daughter of Chad and Christy [Brantz] Gimmestad. The town of Greeley, Colorado is home to the Anna Gimmestad Memorial Park, 19th Avenue and 31st Street. She was a victim of E-coli from a non-pasteurized Odwalla drink. Her death got national attention, and Odwalla changed its processing system because of the incident. Her parents refused to sue the company, which was also big news, so the company paid for development of the park in Anna's name. Anna of Greeley, Co., died after drinking juice contaminated with E. coli O157 at age 16 months.
