She is survived by her husband William Templin, son Geoffrey and brother Milton Bagby Jr. Anne particularly loved family places. She often visited the abandoned farm place of her mother's people in Randolph County and spent many days at the family's long-standing cabin at Lake Martin. She often said that the most beautiful and peaceful place on Earth was Lake Martin in the winter. Anne worked for a number of years at Bagby Elevator & Electric Company as an estimator-project manager and participated in the early construction phases of the Birmingham Jefferson Civic Center. She also was on the board of two mining companies and had a keen interest in the exploration of precious metals. She possessed a keen eye for detail, and, along with her husband and son, later remodeled and decorated a number of notable residences in Mountain Brook and Redmont. She was a member of the Hermitage Garden Club and also the Birmingham Charter of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood. She was clever, funny, and an ironclad friend. There will be a memorial service at Mountain Brook Baptist Church Friday January 22 at 1:30 in the Chapel.
