Anne published greeting cards under the name Annie’s Xpressions through Blue Mountain Arts, as well as other published artwork and poems. In 2025, she felt the creative spark that had been missing for years and submitted artwork and poems in the hope of being published once again.
Anne loved nature, animals, the beach, surfing, the warmth of the sun, and sand between her toes. She advocated for the under-privileged and disadvantaged and was a member of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in Venice, Florida. She touched all that she met with her caring, compassionate ways; always concerned about others despite her own circumstances. She will be forever missed by family and friends.
