Ann Byrne

We often think of our dear next-door neighbor. Esther and Elliott

Ann was a role model for me in the mid-1960s, when I was college-aged and live in the adjoining apartment in Hyde Park, Chicago. I remember her fondly.

As a student at URI, I got to know Ann
very well, She was an advocate for women
and a kind woman.

i knew Ann as a patient at the eye dr. office i worked at .. i was her optician and she and i talked about pottery .. she was a very nice lady ...

Ms Byrne raised one of my good, good friends, and he is one of the brightest and funniest men I know. I am thankful for her mothering even though I never met her.

One for the ages! My heartfelt condolences to Ann's family and close friends. May Alex, Con, and Aristo take comfort in knowing how fondly their dear mother is remembered by the younger generation of girls growing up in Hyde Park, where she was such a rare force of brilliance and compassion as an educator and mother in the school community. Like others I looked up to her not just as the mother of one of my good friends, Alex, but as a role model for what women can be, as activists, scholars...

Ann mentored me through URI as an adult student and remained a good friend until her last weeks. She will always be with me..God bless.

Ann allowed me to get through difficult times at RISD and was always a dedicated friend and support. She also introduced me to the feminist movement. Kathy Rose
