Anne, known by her friends as Annie, spent her childhood years in Bristol, Tennessee and Roanoke, Virginia, graduating from Roanoke's Patrick Henry High School in 1967. She went on to study at the University of Richmond, Virginia Commonwealth University and, later in life, Radford University. Anne had several careers, from computer training specialist to interior designer, before retiring at age 62. However, her true passion was art, and she enjoyed creating it through a variety of mediums, including paintings, jewelry and mixed-media collage pieces. Anne was devoted to her family and friends, generous and loving, and she faced the end of her life's journey with bravery and grace. Anne's family would like to express their heartfelt appreciation to Bon Secours Hospice for the wonderful care they provided during her final days. A Celebration of Life service to honor Anne will be held in the Azalea Room at Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens, 1800 Lakeside Ave, Henrico, VA 23228, on Saturday, April 6, 2024, at 2:00 p.m.
