Anna C. Petteys (1892-1970) was an American education activist, newspaper woman, lecturer and politician in the mid-20th century. She was inducted into the Colorado Women's Hall of Fame in 2008. Born in 1892, she moved to Colorado in 1914 where she married Loronzo Petteys, with whom she had four children. After her son died in the Second World War, she set up a scholarship at Northeastern Junior College; originally a two-year scholarship for one person, it is now given to eleven young men each year. Her philanthropic work extended to include hospitals, libraries, women's shelters, volunteer fire departments, and much more, throughout most of northeastern Colorado.
