Exit Stage Left. Anne Louise Silberman took her final breath on June 21st, 2022, singing to classic soul tunes of the 1970's and holding the hands of her twin sister Lisa Craze and younger sister and caregiver Linda Silberman. Anne began her life as the firstborn of twins, in Baltimore, Maryland. The family then moved to Palmyra, Pennsylvania and later Decatur, Illinois and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. It was in Harrisburg that Anne developed her singing talents and after graduating high school, toured the East Coast with several bands. In the 1980's, Anne moved to Seattle, Washington and found two new joys; painting and radio. She was a much-sought-after traffic reporter for many stations. During these years, Anne found joy and passion in many styles of painting. She has had several gallery art shows of her works in Seattle and later in North Carolina. Nobody loved animals quite like Anne. She seemed to psychically connect with cats especially. Her beloved cat Purrcy was by her bed on her final day of life. In 2012 Anne found what was to become her final earthy home in New Mexico. Through a series of magical coincidences, she ended up moving to Arroyo Hondo, NM - where she made some of her greatest friends and special connections. She was a volunteer for Stray Hearts animal shelter. Her job was to love up stray cats and help them feel safe and welcome. It brought her great joy. Anne didn't suffer fools and had an incredibly fine-tuned sense of truth and honesty. She had many healthcare issues over the years, having been born with a defective heart valve. Anne endured two open heart valve-replacement surgeries as well as several bouts of cancer. Endometrial cancer took her life, far too young on the Solstice. It was a beautiful day to go. Now, free from pain, we can hear her angelic voice singing us onward as this tiny family of 3 becomes 2. The family extends our deepest gratitude to Deirdre, Bonnie and Patrice with Hospice Mountain Home Healthcare under the supervision of Dr. Joanna Hooper, for their profoundly intuitive care.
