Anna and I were classmates. I was very sad to hear of her passing. Her and I always giggled when we talked about the fun we used to have in High School. She was very sweet and I knew how much she loved her whole family. She will be missed. My thoughts, prayer and strength to her family. Heaven received another angel.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Anna's passing. I have known Anna since she was a very small child. We lived in the same neighborhood and I had the pleasure of babysitting for Anna and her younger sister Susan. For the last 20+ years, Anna has delivered our newspaper. I would occasionally be up when she came by between 4 and 5 AM and would wave to her through the window. She was very prompt and efficient. Most recently, I was able to catch up with Anna while watching each of our grandsons play youth basketball. Anna was a soft spoken, kind person who was very proud of her family. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family. May the memories you shared with her help to get you through this difficult time. RIP Anna.

As a neighbor of the Fines, I knew Anna since she was a preschooler. I used to babysit Anna and Susan often, and later Ted. She was a kind, gentle and beautiful child. She made such an impression on me that I named my own daughter Anna because I found the name so beautiful. I am so sorry to hear of her loss. My thoughts are with her whole family at this time.

I’ve known Anna since she was about 12 years old when I taught her dance. Years later, she became my sons babysitter. Her daughter, Sarah and my youngest son, Brian were both 3 at the time. They are now married with 4 children of their own and expecting a 5th in the fall. Anna was a patient, quiet woman with a big heart and generous nature. She will be greatly missed by all of us who loved her. Farewell, “GaGa”. ❤❤❤

Anna was vibrant as a child. Anna and I would spend many hours, running, swimming, playing and flying kites on Ferry Beach in Old Orchard Maine. It had been many years since we had the chance to speak face to face during my vacation time in Old Orchard where my family met my best childhood friend. Anna you grew up to be a loving Wife, Mother and Grandmother. Your children were your life and it showed when we had dinner that day in Concord. Time passes as we grow and I will always have fond memories of you and I being free spirits all those many years ago. Rest in peace, you will always be in my thoughts and prayers. Your loving Cousin Philip.
