We got to know Anne through her husband and my colleague Bob in the late 80’s. Loved talking to her about old movies, France and family. Will miss her beautiful Christmas card calligraphy and her wonderful personality. I envy her family who she loved dearly. May her memory live on at Christmas and forever,

Mary Anne, I just learned of your mother's passing. My prayerful thoughts to you and your family. I read every dedication to her online and her life was filled with love and joy and French and books and love of all creatures. Just wonderful! May her soul and your memories of her live on. Fondly, Joyce Gipson, 411-2E

My condolences to Anne's Family. I was a former neighbor when Anne and Bob lived on Thatcher in River Forest. Anne and I stayed in touch all these years. I will remember her as a fun person and intelligent and kind and a cat lover. I remember she had 5 cats when I was her neighbor! I got to cat sit from time to time. I recall going for walks for exercise and how she loved to stop MANY TIMES and look at the houses and gardens in the neighborhood. I will miss this wonderful lady.

So sorry to your family for the loss of your mother. She was one of the kindest, most pleasant and joyful women of her generation, and a great friend to our family. May God rest her soul.

Mrs. Canapary was such a lovely person in my life. She was creative, intellectual, tender and accepting of so many of us kids in the neighborhood. I loved her French, her encouragement of our drawing and painting, her many cats and her pretty home. She was very inspiring for me.
