After graduation, she answered the call to serve her country in the United States Air Force. Following her honorable discharge, she moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where she began a distinguished career as a mortgage loan underwriter. While in Atlanta, she met and married the love of her life, Charles, and together they built a life filled with love, family, and adventure. After retirement, Anne and Charles traveled the world, making treasured memories on trips to Europe, the American West, and the Northeast. She was a gifted crocheter, creating toys and blankets for her grandchildren, who lovingly knew her as “super mom” and the best grandmother in the world. Anne’s home was always filled with warmth, laughter, and the love of family. She delighted in encouraging her children and grandchildren in their activities, from sports and school to community programs such as the local library’s book club. Anne will be remembered for her deep love for her family, her joyful spirit, and her unwavering devotion to those she cherished most.
