Not sure what to say?

The Wellesley class of 1956 recently held our 65th reunion (virtually, of course) and there was certainly a "missing person." I note that Anne's middle name was "Delight"...and that she was. I can just imagine what she would be thinking and saying of the current political situation..and that she would be cheering President Biden's legislative agenda! Here is Anne with two friends at our 35th reunion) We all miss her!

Ellen, Liz and Sarah, we were so sorry to hear of your moms passing. What a wonderfully accomplished individual she was in addition to being a great mom. Much love from our family to all of yours. Love Bill and Xanthi Manias

While we were not close friends during our college years, Anne was one of my favorite Wellesley classmates. We spent time together at reunions and served as class officers in the late '80's...and re-uned in NYC when she visited her daughter. I loved her spirit, her sense of social justice, her politics. I miss her.

Ellen, So very sorry to hear about your moms passing. I remember meeting her and your dad at your house, when you and I were in theater in high school. She was very sweet as was your dad. My heart goes out to you and your family

Oh, the wonderful memories of Anne as we shared many years of worshiping and volunteering together at the UU Church of Manchester, NH. Anne gave so much to the church community through her remarkable leadership and gracious spirit. And it was always a delight when Kimon attended the many social functions too. My condolences to to all the family.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Anne was one of the most remarkable women we've had the privilege to know and she'll be missed. If more of us could use and share even half the talent and intellect she so wisely used, the world would be a better place. Knowing and working with Anne in the UU church in Manchester was an inspiration for thirty+ years and putting together Susan B. Anthony events in the '80s was an extraordinary experience!
Your family was fortunate with two special parents and we hope your happy...

I got to know Anne while part of Manchesters historic Interrogation Club, and so enjoyed her papers shared in this most amazing collection of women whose curiosity and research was every month a delight, like Annes middle name. She was a force and a wonderful example how women should be. Sympathy to her family.
