After college, she went to work for her father’s furniture design company, W&J Sloan Furniture. She was also very active with St. John the Baptist Russian Orthodox Church, where she met her husband John. After marrying John, her focused shifted to her greatest accomplishment, raising her three children. Following many years of supporting John and her family, they retired in Williamsburg, VA, their favorite vacation destination. Anne Marie always loved the beauty of Williamsburg and they moved into a house of Anne’s design. Furthermore, Anne always had an interest in pottery, resulting in a studio in her house. Many of her beautiful creations adorn her house. Anne touched and inspired us all with her incredible spirit. She was a perfect wife, mother, and grandmother. We will miss her dearly.
