She was an artist. She loved painting and being creative. She loved giving homemade gifts to her family and friends and enjoyed cooking. She loved traveling and going to the beach. She was a daredevil, even going white water rafting in the last couple years. She was also an amazing Grandma. She would give anything to make sure they were happy. She had a heart of gold. She never met a stranger and made many lifelong friends. She could strike up a conversation with anyone, anywhere, anytime. Her infectious laugh was well known and loved by her family and friends. You would always know Anne was around when you heard her laugh. When she met Calvin, her life changed. He treated her with love and gave his all to make sure she was happy and well cared for.
