Anna Reade Obituary

Reade, Anna



Anna Reade was born September 9, 1947 to Joseph and Vera Howley in Yorkshire, England and passed peacefully on June 5, 2017 in Fort Collins, CO.

Anna lived in Albuquerque from 1975 â€" 2016 where she enjoyed a successful career in real estate. Always genuine and personable, Anna took great pleasure in her role of helping clients to find their perfect home. Anna's love for adventure and interest in different cultures took her through Europe, northern Africa, and Afghanistan â€" whose people she always revered. Anna served on the Board for St. Mark's in the Valley Day School and she directed Run for the Zoo from 1997-1999. A loving and compassionate lady, she could always be found in a crowd, by her curly blond hair and her lovely British accent.

Anna is survived by 2 daughters and one granddaughter: Echo Reade of Albuquerque, and Abbie Reade and Berkeley Bayuk of Fort Collins. She is also survived by her loving partner of 20 years, Dr. Todd Webster. Anna adored her "Toad" and he was by her side to the end. Throughout her life, Anna's charm and sincerity led her to be loved by many. She will be missed.

A celebration of her life will be forthcoming.

Decades ago you left your home country of England and embraced a new way of life in the Land of Enchantment. And we were all moved by your laughter, upbeat attitude and the total sincerity and integrity you embraced as a real estate professional. It was my pleasure to know you through my work at Coldwell Banker Legacy. God bless you, Anna. You will be dearly missed.

Knew Anna from our early days. Lovely woman and friend. Adored her and her children. Loved listening to her stories of travel to Afghanistan and abroad. Her accent was always a treat for those of us in NM. She was always wiling to make her time available if we ever needed anything. So sad to lose such a wonderful soul. Blessings to Abby and Echo!
