I co taught with Anne with my ESL students at Lawrence High School. She made math fun for our students. The students truly enjoyed her and it was a pleasure working with Anne. Blessings to her family at this time.

Annie was a cherished member of the Class of '77 at Marist, and, one of the funniest people on that campus in "the day". Our best to her surviving family and sympathies to them going forward.
