She was a dedicated member of St John’s Episcopal Church in Beverly Farms and was committed to philanthropy with a special interest in scholarships, animal protection, and land conservation.
Anne was known for her love of family and spirited approach to life. She was a loving wife, a devoted mother to her three children and a proud Nana Anna to her five beloved grandchildren.
Her friends were dear to her. Her dogs were family to her. And throughout her life, her faith in God was a beacon for her.

Painting beautiful watercolors became her creative outlet later in life. She loved traveling with family and friends, and was especially connected to Vermont and Cape Cod.
