She was among the first female Junior Engineers hired by a national aerospace company.

Anne was compassionate toward those in need and worked toward social justice in the world. She volunteered in several organizations including supporting development of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul chapter at St. Joseph Catholic Church. Anne loved writing cards and letters, including sending notes of appreciation to those she met along her path. She was fun-loving, enjoying time with friends and family, shopping, playing cards and going on outings. She was an enthusiastic member of the Red Hat Society. She was an avid reader, devouring books almost faster than she could lay hands on them.

She joins her son, Brian and her step-grandson, Blake in heaven.
