The energetic person that she is, she would do the fast walk to and from the water stations. She was a library walking. Going to her office, she would have just a treasure trove of information visibly seen. We do recall her in the office with the laugh.

I worked with Anne for many years at Stanford Children's. She was a wonderful person and very professional. I am saddened to hear she is no longer with us. My condolences to her family and loved ones.

I only knew Anne for 1-1/2 years at work, I found her to be articulate, thorough, hard-working and dedicated to excellence. From reading her obituary, it is clear that she had many talents. God bless Anne, her family, and caregivers!

I was in shock and devastated when I heard the news. The disbelief still lingers, and the sadness will follow me for a long time.
Having had the privilege of working alongside Anne for the past 16 years, I reflect on our time together with immense gratitude. As a newcomer to the Cerner support team for the Optime/Anesthesia application, Anne was instrumental in laying the foundation of my understanding of system integration. Her guidance was invaluable, and it was she who interviewed me for my current managerial role. Over the last five years, Anne and I were part of the same technical group. We often found ourselves in managerial and directorial meetings that were predominantly male. As someone who isn't deeply technical in a male-dominated field, I have profound appreciation for the grace Anne demonstrated-her ability to be both gentle and firm. She taught me how to stand up for myself and our users, advocating for what we believed was right, even in uncomfortable situations. Anne was a wellspring of knowledge, always ready to offer technical, clinical, and managerial advice. My admiration for her runs deep; she was more than a colleague-she was my role model. Her passion for her work was evident, and she truly made a difference at Stanford.
The last time we interacted, Anne reached out with concern for my father's health, she wanted me to know I could always reach out to her if I needed anything. This gesture was a testament to her caring nature.
As we all mourn the loss of an incredible individual, let us also celebrate the legacy Anne leaves behind-a legacy of love, perseverance, and camaraderie. There are countless things I will miss about Anne-the casual greetings as we passed by each other's offices, her advice, her technical expertise, her humor, her infectious laughter.... Her memory will continue to inspire us all. Rest in peace, Anne.

I am heartbroken for Anne's family. She is someone I always looked forward to working with; she could make even the most complicated process sound straightforward and simple. She treated all of us with respect and spoke with us, never at or to us. She was direct but gentle (and with a fair amount of humor) when talking me out of whatever hair-brained idea I thought might fix a problem. With the level of care and passion she showed us, I can only imagine how wonderful and amazing she was for you. You have my deepest sympathy.

I was devastated to hear of Anne's passing and send my deepest condolences to her family and friends. My initial memory of Anne was when I first transferred to the Stanford Children's IS dept from the clinical setting. I had to attend a "class" with her to learn HL7 coding. At that point, I thought, what the heck am I getting myself into and how is my clinical brain going to absorb this? You could clearly see her passion and she would never get frustrated with you if you couldn't grasp something. She was always willing to help, had one heck of a memory and I knew I could go to her for anything! It is a tremendous loss to her work family, but her passion and memory will be everlasting for all she has done for this organization. I will miss you, Anne! May you be playing everlasting music now and at peace.

I remember the first time I met Anne was during a status meeting for the Last Word System that she was the manager of. I was the new hire to do application production support which was not under her team. This was the year of 2000 when data storage was expensive and very limited. When an issue was discussed, she would open her closet full of binders which contained emails per topic and by date. It took her less than a minute to find the exact print out she was seeking. She had me in Awe ever since then. My career at Stanford intersected Anne's in a lot of ways, as a peer, and with her as my manager when I joined as an interface analyst in her group in 2015. She was always a fierce advocate for her team. Though I moved to a different role, Anne always supported me and my career at Stanford Children's. Anne always took the time to check in or had time for me when I checked in with her. I consider Anne, a mentor, a friend, and a dear colleague. Her laugh was infectious. Work like at Stanford Children's is greatly altered without her guidance, her knowledge and her ability to link her clinical experience to the technology issues and gaps that her team was often tapped to fix. I will miss you, Anne. Rest in Peace.
