Anne was a devout Catholic and was a faithful member of the Saint Vincent De Paul Catholic Church, Sacred Heart Chapel. Her faith was a cornerstone of her life, guiding her in all that she did.

Anne found joy in the simple pleasures of life. She had a deep love for gardening and spent countless hours tending to her flowers and working in her yard. She was also an accomplished home baker and enjoyed canning, crocheting, and filling her home with the warmth of homemade meals and handmade creations.

More than anything, Anne cherished her family. She took immense pride in being a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Her greatest accomplishment was the love she poured into her family and the lasting bonds she nurtured across generations.
