Anna Webster is originally from Camp Verde.
She didn’t stick around long, though, so it’s all a little new to her living here as an adult.
When she was a little girl, her family moved to Bagdad where her father had found a job.
“You can definitely tell it’s a mining town,” Webster said.
Now Webster is back in Camp Verde, where she’s been living with her mother since December.
In the meantime Webster can be found slinging smoothies at Thanks A Latte on Main Street, a business that seems to have taken hold after a series of other attempts over the past few years by others to use the old gas station.
Webster works alongside her sister, Emily, one of her three siblings.
Her younger brother is still in high school and Webster said he seems pretty happy to be here in Camp Verde than back in Bagdad where she went to school.
Another sister works at Rainbow Acres, the local home for adults with developmental disabilities.
Webster said she always enjoys visiting the ranch.
“It’s great, everyone there is great,” Webster said. “It’s so much fun just to go and hang out.”
Webster is working and living in Camp Verde while she continues her plan to further her education.
Before coming back to Camp Verde, Webster was on the other side of Mingus Mountain.
She was living in Prescott, attending Yavapai College to earn a degree in business.
