> > Anne was admired by many friends and family and will be greatly missed. She was a selfless, kind, sweet, hardworking, compassionate and sometimes mischievous person who lived to make the people in her life happy. She always desired a big family and relished time with her children and grandchildren. She found great joy in the company of her tight-knit family and reminded her children regularly how important it was to have and nurture one another. Anne went to great lengths to spend equal time with everyone. The fondest memories were family gatherings when everyone crowded together to celebrate countless holidays, birthdays, anniversaries and family vacations which carried her to many destinations both domestic and abroad. She was especially fascinated with the people and culture of Germany which was home to her grandparents. Anne took great interest in the art of painting; her family travels provided interesting subjects and sceneries for her painting passion. She had a zest for life and never passed up an opportunity to share new experiences with her family. She is now in the company of angels and will forever be on our mind and in our hearts.
