In her personal life, Anne was a busy, loving wife and mother who filled her household with pets, thriving plants, and family memorabilia. Anne was a parish cantor and soloist. A dramatic soprano, Anne was blessed with a rich, powerful, and emotive voice. Her singing touched hearts and souls at masses, weddings, and funerals for decades. Anne experienced awe in the natural world from oceans to majestic mountains and beautiful sunsets. Anne appreciated an array of music from Gregorian chants, traditional lullabies, musicals, contemporary genres, to the silliness of Weird Al. She enjoyed several arts and crafts and always had supplies on hand in case inspiration hit. Anne enjoyed discussing current events, particularly those related to social justice. Buying gifts for loved ones was especially joyful. Anne’s courageous journey with disability and illness began years before she became a grandmother.
