I was sorry to hear about Anne’s passing. She and Michael, as our first cousins, were Judy and my first friends in the 40’s and we had many enjoyable times at the Fort Snelling home. Many happy memories.

Cory, my thoughts are with you. I’ve lost both my parents, and it never gets easier, and you never forget, but eventually the great memories and love you have, take over the pain and sorrow.
Judy Thompson
I am so sad to hear of Anne’s death. We had many good times together when we were children and through college days. We were first cousins and almost the same age. She was fun to be with and was so kind to me.
She is now with her Mom and Michael, her brother in heaven.

To the family; I am so sorry for you loss. Anne was a wonderful woman. I enjoyed working with her at Southview. Her work on Restitution for elementary age students was extraordinary. She was a special lady and made a great impact on my life.
Mike O'Brien
I’m Mike O’Brien, Annes Husband of over 30 years. Forgotten father of her children. I took care of her, here at home for over 15 years, with no help from her children. Her sweet children took all of her assets left to care for her for the rest of her life. Read her Obit. No mention of me. Pray for them.
