Anne enjoyed exercise and could frequently be found walking and running around her neighborhood in Pawleys with her faithful companion and fur-baby, Sammy Joe, by her side, whom she lost only 45 days prior to her passing.

She also loved to read and could often be found with a book in her hands at least some point every day. She could never drive by Litchfield Books without stopping to peruse the latest titles. Anne was also a parishioner of Precious Blood of Christ Catholic Church in Pawleys Island.
Anne graduated from Southwestern Central High School in Jamestown, NY, further attending Green Mountain College in Poultney, VT, and Elmira College in Elmira, NY.
