Anna Kerwin Obituary

Anne Nicole Kerwin, 31, left her loving family Wednesday evening, October 24, 2012 due to complications related to diabetes. Anne was loved by many for her bright smile, warm demeanor and infectious laughter. Anne shared generosity to all she met and always put others before herself. Anne loved music and showed a natural propensity for playing the piano from an early age. Her talent, intelligence and love of life combined with her ease connecting with children translated into an ability to communicate and teach children that was truly remarkable. Whether she was spending time with her two nephews whom adored her, tutoring at her mother's learning center or in her final months working with children in Tucson, any child who crossed her path benefited greatly.

Anne is survived by her mother and father, Mr. & Mrs. Edward Kerwin; brother, E.J. Kerwin, and her loving boyfriend, Robert McGee.

A Wake will be held Monday, October 29, 2012, from 5:00 P.M. - 9:00 P.M. at Johnson Mortuary Chapel with Recitation of the Holy Rosary at 7:00P.M. A Funeral Mass will take place Tuesday, October 30, 2012, at 10:30 A.M. at St. Francis Catholic Church.
Gathering to follow at the Knights of Columbus.

In lieu of flowers please make donations to Assistance League or Child Family Services.

Dear Kay, Ed, E.J. and Robert
Please accept my sincere and prayerful support at this difficult time. I am deeply saddened for your great loss.
in my heart, there are so many wonderful memories of Annie, and the many ways you made my three years in Yuma so pleasant. You always opened your hearts to us who "passed through" the parish and school. You brought such a personal caring touch to everything! You generously shared your faith, your home, your love for music and children, and everyone!!! I hope that you can look upon this difficult loss with some sense of peace. Although we can't always see it very clearly, it is a time to renew our belief that LIFE has changed, not ended. Now in the presence of God, Annie will look with love upon you all and help you in ways she never could before. I am already asking her for some help with a couple of situations that seem kind of impossible to manage all by myself!!!
I hope we can keep in touch occasionally at least.

From our 8th grade memory book. Annie was always falling, but she took it in stride: laughed it off every time!

Much love to Ed, Kay, EJ, Robert and the rest of the Kerwin family. Lots and lots of friends and former St. Francis/Kofa classmates thinking of Annie and all the best memories we have of her. For all the sadness we've experienced in the last few days, we've smiled that much more.
