She also received a Certificate in Special Education & Teaching from Lamar University in 1978. Anne was a beloved schoolteacher at Hunters Creek in Houston, Texas from 1962 through 1996. Her heart was focused on teaching Special Education students, but she also used her talents in computer technology to help other teachers learn how to enhance education through the use of computers in the classroom. After retiring from teaching, Anne spent several days a week working in the gift shop at St. Martin’s Episcopal Church in Houston, Texas.

A lover of travel, Anne visited many states and countries via road trips, tour buses, and cruise ships. She daringly took several long road trips on her own, only telling family after returning home. Anne claimed her favorite trips were cruises with family members along the west coast of the United States, Alaska, and through the Panama Canal. She also loved reading, dining with long-time friends, spending Christmas time with family, and for many years, having the companionship of her furry cats.
