Mom passed away peacefully in her home on Monday September 9, 2019.
She was the deeply treasured wife of the late Peter Edward (married 1961).
Anne is survived by her most loving children; Ann, Thomas (Lisa), Mary (Danny), Kathleen (Robert), Patrick (Joan), and John (Carol). She was predeceased by her beloved son Peter Gerard in 1997.
She was a devoted grandma to Brianna, PJ, Brittany, Shannon, Meagan, Kevin, Peter, Owen, Nora, Michael, Kaitlin, Patrick, Maureen, Caroline, Peter, Elizabeth, and Brendan and loving great grandmother to Jack.
Mom was born in Brooklyn to Margaret (Murray) and Thomas Coursey. Her adoring parents returned to Ireland and raised her as the eldest sister to Mary Jo, Carmel, Tommy, and Barbara on Inis Shark, Galway.
At 16, Anne bravely left her home to study and work in England. She eventually emigrated to the United States to live in Pittsburgh with her aunt. She then moved to Brooklyn, where she met her best buddy Pete at an Irish Dance. They married in Holy Name on June 24, 1961 and raised their kids in Windsor Terrace. They retired to Lake Hopatcong after spending summers with their children and grandchildren at the lake.
Our mom was our rock. She was so loved and will be missed terribly.
How joyous you must be with Peter and Pop-Pop in heaven.
Rest peacefully Mom. Yours was a life well lived.
