Anne’s life was devoted to serving others. Her faith was the source of a love that was shared with every person she met, whether it was one of her children, a struggling family, or a complete stranger. Anne’s love was rooted in God and was unconditional. She desired nothing more than to introduce the love of Jesus Christ to all she encountered.
Anne’s faith also inspired her involvement in many activities outside of raising her family, including Cursillo, Birthright, Serra Club, the Carmelites, and the many Catholic parishes to which she belonged. Anne was a member of People of Praise for 40 years and will be missed dearly by the members of that community.
In addition to her 10 children, Anne was blessed with 45 grandchildren and 54 great grandchildren. These are her legacy, a family blessed with her love and who desire to follow her example of selfless sacrifice to everyone she encountered.
