Anne Boggs Obituary
November 24, 1945 - April 17, 2025
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Anne Satchell Boggs, 79, of Richmond, Virginia on Thursday, April 17, 2025. She passed away peacefully at St. Mary's hospital in Richmond, Virginia. She was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and friend who will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
Anne was born in Norfolk, Virginia on November 24, 1945 to Anne Cresswell Satchell and Charles Edward Satchell. She graduated from Norfolk Collegiate School then Old Dominion University, where she majored in chemistry and medical technology. While at Old Dominion, she met the love of her life, Robert Lewis Boggs (Lew), and they were married in 1967. She spent her early career working at Johnston Willis and St. Mary's hospitals in the lab. As her children grew, she became a full-time homemaker. She was a devoted member of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church and the Tuckahoe Women's Club. She was a member of the Kiawah Island Club and the Country Club of Virginia. She was also a loyal volunteer at her children's schools throughout their education.
She was preceded in death by her mother and father. She is survived by her husband, Lew; her daughter, Bryna Boggs Tompkins and son-in-law, James Newell Tompkins of Mount Pleasant, South Carolina; her son, Christopher Brandon Boggs and daughter-in-law, Caroline Clarke Boggs of Charlottesville, Virginia; and four grandchildren, Tate Tompkins, Charlie Boggs, Sam Boggs, and Kendall Boggs.
She loved to read, travel with her husband and friends, play bridge and mahjong, cook, cheer on her grandchildren in their various activities, and spoil her succession of grand-dogs. Her happy place was Kiawah Island, South Carolina with her family taking walks, reading books, playing golf, and enjoying family meals together.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a contribution to either the Bon Secours Richmond Healthcare Foundation or the Kiawah Island Conservancy.
Her family will have a Memorial Service at St. Stephen's Church at 6000 Grove Avenue in Richmond, Virginia on Thursday, June 5, 2025 at 10:30 a.m. with a reception to follow there at the church.
