Anne was a dedicated member of St. John Baptist Church for nearly 50 years. There, she used her gift of music and arts. She enjoyed teaching children choirs and various roles in theater productions. She was capable of directing plays but putting on a costume and playing a role brought her much enjoyment. She always had a great sense of humor and enjoyed having fun with others.

Anne is survived by her sister-in law, Mary Jo Sutton of Virginia; niece, Elizabeth "Betsy" Sutton and husband Mark LaChance and their daughters Maddie and Elle LaChance of New Jersey; nephew, Kevin Sutton and wife Traci of Virginia. She is also survived by her cousins and close friends.
