Anne Pressly Obituary
Anne Pressly, 26, died at St. Vincent Infirmary Medical Center, hospital spokeswoman Margaret Preston said.
In a statement released by the hospital, Pressly's parents, Guy and Patti Cannady, asked for privacy as they grieved.
"It was our hope, as was yours, that Anne would overcome the injuries inflicted upon her in the brutal attack at her home," the statement read. "We were with her in her last moments, and although our hearts are broken, we are at the same time comforted by our faith knowing that Anne is now with our heavenly father."
Pressly was beaten around the head, face and neck. She had been unable to communicate with her family or police while being kept sedated in the intensive care unit.
The anchor's death came only a day after a doctor said he was encouraged that her vital signs were stable while she remained in critical condition. Dr. Clifton R. Johnson told reporters Friday that swelling in Pressly's brain had gone down since being hospitalized and that doctors had slowly been reducing her sedative dosages.
She was discovered Monday morning a half-hour before she was to appear on ABC affiliate KATV's "Daybreak" program. Her mother went to her home after she didn't answer her regular wake-up call.
Sgt. Cassandra Davis, a police spokeswoman, has said investigators suspect Pressly was the victim of a random attack. Davis did not return a call for comment Saturday night.
Pressly was a native of Greenville, S.C., and moved with her family to Little Rock while she was in high school. She was a graduate of Rhodes College in Memphis, Tenn.
She had a small role in the new Oliver Stone movie "W.," which was filmed in Shreveport, La. She appears briefly as a conservative commentator who speaks favorably of President Bush's "Mission Accomplished" event on an aircraft carrier shortly after the start of the Iraq war.
On Saturday, KATV opened its nightly news cast with a seven-minute segment devoted to Pressly. Anchor Pamela Smith told viewers that Pressly's family agreed to have their daughter be an organ donor. Smith's voice hitched as she read condolences sent into the station, her eyes red.
"She owned every room she was in, not because she demanded our attention, but because we willingly gave it to her," Smith said. "We all felt a little better, a little more alive just being near her.
"Life was easy for Anne Pressly. But it is her death that is so very hard for all of us."
No funeral arrangements were immediately announced.

I went through a very similar experience more than two years ago in my home. I was attacked as I was sleeping in my own bedroom, thinking that I was safe behind locked doors and locked windows. I barely survived. I have brain damage and permanent pelvic injuries. I think of Anne often as someone who would be my friend if she were still here.

Patti, I have kept you in my thoughts & prayers all these years. Your relationship with your daughter was so much like my own. I too called her every morning to wake her up for work. Amy was in the hospital waiting on an organ transplant when your own beautiful Anne left her earthly body. Your Guy was on the news talking about Anne's gifts. Today Amy is alive & healthy because of an unselfish organ donation. She is pursuing her PhD. Your sweet girl saved lives with her decision to donate. I keep you in my prayers. A mother's love for her daugher is so unique & so deeply implanted within the heart that only another mother understands that taking each & every breath after a loss is next to impossible. I pray that God helps you with those breaths.

I have admired your courage and grace in this horrible crime and Anne will always be remembered by me as well as many others in America. She is not forgotten, nor your Christian example.

I was very fortunate to have gotten to know Anne last summer at KATV where I interned. I was away at school when the horrific incident happened and it all seemed completely unreal to me. I went to visit the newsroom today and it felt so different without her there. I will always remember her funny comments and how she always made the effort to know every one of the intern's names. I cherish the moments I was able to share with her. Although it has been a few months, my heart still goes out to the KATV family, all her family and friends, and for those lives she has touched. She will continue to live on in each one of us.

Its so hard to believe this horrific, unfair, tragic event could be someone's destiny, but while she was alive she appeared happy and was very successful. I commend her parents determination and faithfulness in the Lord. We don't have answers to all this injustice in the world, but take some solace in knowing God now has a beautiful angel and all those who love her will see her in heaven again someday. She's in heaven where noone can hurt her. God bless Anne and her family.

Dear Pressly Family,
My deepest sympathy to your beautiful family.
I too lost my oldest daughter who was killed by a drunk driver.
God will heal the hole in your hearts in time. Life will never be "normal", but you will learn to live a "new normal" life.
Your daughter is a beautiful reflection of her wonderful family.
In Christ's Love,

I never got the joy of personally meeting Anne, but it was very apparant the see would have been a delight in anyone's life. We shared the love of animals. All you had to do was to see Anne with her two dogs, Daisy and Clementine and look at her face---true doggie love. I feel sorry for her friends and family and I feel sorry for Daisy and Clementine who have to wonder why she left them without a goodbye.

Remember
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

THERE'S A REASON For every pain that we must bear For every burden, every care, There's a reason. For every grief that bows the head, For every tear-drop that is shed There's a reason. For every hurt, for every plight For every lonely pain-racked night There's a reason. But if we trust God as we should It all will work out for our good. He knows the Reason . We are deeply sadden for your loss, our hurt cannot be put into words for Anne"s family or her co-workers. You are in our prayers and you have our love and sorrow. Anne will deeply be missed by all. She touched so many lives. May God Bless You All

My heart has been broken twice. The first was when I heard Anne had been attacked in her home. The second time of course was when I heard of her passing. However, I was somehow comforted when I heard that her wonderful parents had chosen to donate Anne's organs. Through this generous donation, Anne will still be on this earth doing what she always has done, giving life, hope and inspiration to the ones that need it the most. God bless you my dear friend and the ones that are going to be fortunate enough to have a part of you inside of them.

As bereaved parents, our hearts ache for you in your loss. You have been in our thoughts and prayers since we heard the news of Anne's death. We will continue to pray for your family. The Bereaved Parents of the USA group of Central Arkansas was extremely helpful to us when our son died. We would like to recommend that you check out their website and consider attending their monthly meetings on the 3rd Monday of every month at the First Church of the Nazarene on Mississippi in Little Rock. Also, there is a Parents of Murdered Children support group that has helped a number of our friends as well. You will continue in our prayers. May the Lord comfort you as only He can.

But she seemed like such a very intelligent, bright, well liked, well educated, beautiful young lady. She will truly be missed by many. She touched so many lives. We will continue thinking about and praying for the Pressly family. LOVE YA - MEAN IT!!

To Anne's mom: Hold on tight, the pain will be like waves. It doesn't go away, we moms just do what we always do and learn to cope. God is our strength and our foundation and He helps us to cope.
Your daughter is beautiful and everything I hear is wonderful. She is smart, kind, loving and she loves her mother and family. We are very blessed mothers, God honored us, to give us wonderful girls to love and raise before He called them back Home.
I just want to be a reminder of something, which you already know. God loved you so much that He sent your Anne here for this wonderful lifetime for you to raise and love to share with yours and her family and friends for the time you had to dress her up when she was little and show her off. To teach her right and wrong to watch her grow and help her with her teen years, life was so wonderful.
You had the wonderful times of going to lunch, sitting and talking, laughing together, hearing her laugh, seeing her smile, watching her talk on the phone: these are blessings God gives to mothers from our children. I still overflow with love and honor as I cry and miss my precious daughter.
And now my kindred friend I put my arms around you and tell you God loves you and Anne is perfect and happy again and in God's arms. Hold on tight, keep your eyes towards heaven, God bless you, Karen, Kandace’s mommy.

As someone said who knew her well, "Anne was larger than life." This beautiful lady is now walking the streets made of gold...still searching for someone to help or inspire. God will probably tell her, "Rest now, my child...your work is done." But that won't stop Anne. She'll be standing in line to help 'pour out the rain' if nothing else. We will miss you - you are truly beautiful inside and out. Am praying for your family right now as there is nothing more unimaginable than losing a child. Just wasn't suppose to be that way. God Bless You All ...

To the family of Anne Pressly....as a mother who lost her daughter in June, 08, I know your sorrow and feeling of loss.....while the manner of death was not the same, there are a lot of similarities between our girls.....their age (one month apart), both were loved by family and friends, both had great smiles and were the life of the party, they were smart and both had a great life before them.......your tragedy has brought mine back to life. As much as people try to comfort you, no one, other than God himself, can comfort you like another bereaved parent. I pray for your comfort and healing. Just know that Anne is in a better place and will not suffer again. God will step in and care for you during this time of your life and will use your smiling baby girl to help someone else. Thank you for the gift that you shared with our community - Anne Pressly. She was a great asset to us all.

Anne,
I'm sorrow that I never knew you, but voices of others have pictured you as one of God's Angels. I sure believe that. It was wonderful to enjoy your person each day on Channel 7. I don't understand all I know about heaven, even thou I lost my wife and son 3 years ago. We all get comfort from the promise of eternal rewards and we are happy that you now have yours. But at the same time, if we had a choice, we would prefer to have you here for another 70 or so years. I miss you and the whole state of Arkansas misses you. God bless for ever. We are sure that God loves you even more than we did.

To Anne Pressly's family,
My prayers and thoughts are with you at this very trying time. I can say that I know how you feel because my 9 year old and 3 year old grandchildren were killed when a gas drilling truck rolled over on their car on their way to church last December. There are no words to express my feelings or how much I would like to comfort you, but I feel your pain. Please know that many people share your sadness and Anne will be missed by all of us who watched her (and I watched her all the time). May God bless and comfort you.

You are in such a better place and in the company of my son, but we are left here to grieve over what we have lost. May God give them a peace that surpasses all understanding, and may they find comfort in all the wonderful memories that you have left for all of us to remember you by.

October 31, 2008
Pressly Family,
There is no greater love than between mother and child, so to lose a dear child can be unbearable.
God promise to be with those who are broken at heart and those who are crushed in spirit He saves.
And just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more;
And you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be.
But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth,
And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.
May these words give you a measure of comfort.
with heartfelt Sympathy,
Linda Rinner
