I haven't forgotten Anne. . . So many times during the year something reminds me of Anne. Roxy and her family are in San Francisco this weekend. When she told me she is going to take Willa, my grandaughter to the S.F. zoo, I thought of Anne and missed her. I hope the Warner family are all doing well!

I worked with Anne at Oakland Zoo for a number of years and am so deeply sad to hear of her loss. She was a champion for wildlife conservation and a lovely lady and left her mark on the Zoo forever. We plan to honor her with a plaque in our docent library and will plant a redwood in our memorial grove.

This is heartbreaking to our family that Anne has passed. We raised our children together with so much happiness and caring for each other's family. Next door neighbors for many years. We laughed and shared all our experiences raising our kids. Sweet dreams Anne. You left us way too soon. Heaven has received a beautiful Angel. xoxo

I am one of the Oakland Zoo docents who was lucky enough to work with both Anne and her Mom, Mary, on so many conservation zoomobiles during the 1990's. Anne loved those 3rd to 5th graders and gave them the love of animals and a wonderful spirit and joy of life as she taught them how to become stewards of the earth. Anne was also such a great Mom, and she'd tell stories of how her children were doing and tell them with such love. I remember being so impressed when she, and all of you family, were the Stauffers lasagna family on the TV commercial! It was so true.....she worked all day and then somehow managed to enjoy a real dinner at home!
She did also say how much support you were, Cliff, in all of this!
I loved Anne and always will. I love this photo of her holding yet another baby!
Please take care of each other and know that Anne is still with you in your hearts.
I still get to feel her when I go to the Oakland Zoo. Lots of love to you all. I know she will be there looking over her grandkids and all of you, forever.

Anne was an outstanding person and her spirit will always be with us here in Sukau. In the next few days, a tree will be planted by the team so she will always be with us and the orang-utans she loved so much. I have many memories of Anne, especially her warmth and smile that were always accompanying her anywhere we would meet her. I miss her dearly. Marc

Cliff, Ross, Emily, and Tom,
It is with a heavy heart that I write this note. I was with Roxy, my daughter on a road trip when I read Ross's note on Caring Bridge. I told Roxy. Later she asked me what are some of my memories of Anne? Of course her beautiful face, bright blue eyes, and easy smile come to mind. But more importantly is the soul with which Anne came here: I met Anne 38 years ago when our first born were babies, Ross and Roxy. I had just moved from Austin, Texas to the bay area. It was a culture shock and I felt lonely as a new stay at home mom in the Pacifica fog. I had left behind a city where people were open and friendly and making new friends came easily. In the bay area people were more closed, guarded and not so eager to take in a woman with a heavy Texas twang as their new best friend. Not so, with Anne. I baby sat Ross on a regular basis when Anne was working on her Master's degree. She always took time to sit and visit with me. She was the first woman among the many new mothers who I had met that was willing to open her heart, share her life, and be vulnerable in my presence the ingredients needed to become a real friend. She became my first real friend in California. Since then I moved back to Austin and she to Oregon so we lost physical contact but never left our friendship behind.
I have many sweet memories of Anne, but one I'd like to share is that she eased one of the biggest worries I had as a new mom. My instinct told me it was okay that I hold my baby, Roxy as much as I wanted to and nurse her on demand, but I had family and other people telling me I needed to put her down, let her cry, and put her on a feeding schedule. Anne shared her knowledge of how monkeys treat their young she told me the babies constantly cling to their mom and they feed any time the babies want to. She said the baby monkeys who were with their moms in this way were more well-adjusted than those who had lost their moms at an early age. I shared this story with my daughter, Roxy who has a newborn daughter. I hope Roxy will share this story with her daughter when she becomes a new mom.
Anne will live on in the hearts and minds of those with whom she educated and shared her soul. . .
Much love and affection, Prissy

Anne was pure joy and personified sweetness and light. Her dedication to the conservation of wildlife and their critical ecosystems was the gold standard. Her love of the people that lived in these wild places was deeply understood by Anne. But, most importantly Anne was a dear friend and we will miss her smile and laughter and friendship. To know Anne was to love Anne. We send our deepest sympathy to her family and all of her friends.

I am sorry to hear this. Our Daughters went to school together and I remember being so impressed by her work at the Oakland Zoo! Oh, and I loved watching the family in a Stouffer's Lasagna commercial... Sending my best and blessings!

Sending heartfelt sympathies and condolences to Anne's family and friends during this difficult time. May you find comfort in knowing that God hears your cries and He stays close to the brokenhearted (Ps. 34:17&18).
