Anne's entire life was devoted to her family. She made sure that her children had the very best, no matter how hard the times. Her unconditional love was extended to her beloved husband of 49 years and continued on to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. In addition to spending time with her loving family, Anne enjoyed shopping, fashion, watching television, and listening to music.

Anne's children would like to acknowledge and thank the staff of The Neighborhood in Madison, Alabama. They have become 'family' in the past year and Anne could not have received better love and care during her time there. Also, donations to Southern Care New Beacon Hospice will be greatly appreciated, on Anne's behalf.

Anne (Mother), will be remembered for her big and caring heart, quick wit and always looking like the 'belle of the ball.'
