Her family was her greatest treasure; she was a devoted daughter, sister, wife and mother. She enjoyed her involvement in many organizations and fund raising projects for St. Anthony of Padua, St. Helena's and Immaculate Heart of Mary Churches and schools. She loved traveling and entertaining. Anne's greatest joy came from being with her family and being a homemaker extraordinaire. Her devoted husband of 49 years, Alfred R.
