Anne always worked in her church, teaching first grade children for a number of years. Later in life, she was a discussion leader in Bible Study Fellowship for many years. She was a member of the Spurs, a prayer group of 18 ladies, for 22 years. Her Utah Birthday Group was very important to her also. She worked in the Fort Worth Union Gospel Mission. Anne was the president of the Bridge & Art Sections of the Junior Woman's Club of Fort Worth, and the president of Aquarius Section of the Senior Woman's Club.
