Anne Sirkis

Burial was at Sharon Memorial Park with close family in attendance.

Anne Foxman Sirkis was born in Providence, Rhode Island to Sadye and Abel Foxman on December 22, 1928. She was the older of their two children. Her younger brother, Norman, passed away in 2022. She graduated from Hope High School and attended Boston Conservatory, majoring in classical piano performance.

Anne met Lawrence (Larry) Sirkis at a Harvard Hillel House brunch in Cambridge, Massachusetts when he was a sophomore at MIT and she was a freshman at the conservatory. They fell in love while strolling and singing over the Harvard Bridge. They were married in 1950 for a little over 65 years. Larry passed away in 2016.

Anne and Larry lived in Sharon, Massachusetts where they raised three children. They were active members of Temple Sinai in Sharon. Larry served as President of the congregation at one point, while Anne was temple organist for many years.

Anne and Larry, along with a few other parents, founded Springboard, an organization for young adults with Learning Disabilities.

They later moved to West Harwich in Cape Cod, Massachusetts and Jupiter, Florida. They divided their time between their two homes, where they enjoyed walking along the beaches and many cultural events.

Eventually, Anne and Larry moved to Linden Ponds in Hingham, MA. After Larry passed away, Anne returned to her Cape Cod home and lived with her children in West Harwich, MA and Mequon, WI. She later moved to Harbor Point, in Centerville, MA for almost three years, where she received gentle, loving care, and where family was able to visit her frequently.

Anne’s greatest love was her family and she was greatly loved by her family. She instilled the love, appreciation, and pursuit of art, music and writing in her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Anne is survived by her three children, Linda (Marc) Lieberman of West Harwich, Massachusetts, Steve (Trudy) Sirkis of Mequon, Wisconsin and Allen Sirkis of West Barnstable, Massachusetts. Anne is also survived by seven grandchildren: Tucker (Carlos) Lieberman, Laurel (DJ) Olszewski, Brooke (Reed) Collins, Dan (Jen) Sirkis, Jessie Lieberman, Becca (Jeff) Lieberthal, Tali (Alan) Dukor, and seven great-grandchildren: Dora and Asher Collins, Henry Sirkis, Truman and Leo Olszewski, Judah and Evan Lieberthal.
