Anne Harper Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Direct Cremation of Maine - Belfast on Feb. 12, 2026.
Anne was born in Huron, South Dakota and raised in Great Neck, New York. She received her B.A. from the College of Wooster, Ohio. She worked as a reading teacher and nursing home activities director in Maine. She spent 17 years as a church administrator in Florida, Virginia and Connecticut.

Her partner in life and ministry has been Jack, her husband of 68+ years. The lives, choices and commitment of her children; Kathleen A. Harper of Farmingdale, Maine and Michael S. Harper of Livingston, Texas has brought her great joy. Her life was further enriched by her daughter-in-law, Mona, and her grandchildren, Joshua, Jonathan and Julia.

"Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again--rejoice!... Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for all he has done. If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus." -Philippians 4:4-7
