Anne E. Higgins, a vibrant soul with an infectious sense of humor and an unwavering love for her family, passed away on March 12th, 2022, in Charleston, SC, at the age of 70.

Born on January 30th, 1952, to Malcolm and Florence Weeks in Valley Forge, PA, Anne was a shining academic star, graduating summa cum laude from the College of New Jersey. Her passion for education led her to a fulfilling career teaching high school biology, chemistry, and physics, where she inspired countless young minds.

In Newtown, PA, Anne found her lifelong companion in Thomas Higgins, with whom she shared a deep loving marriage. Anne was the mother of two incredible daughters, Lane and Corinne, who brought immense joy and pride to Anne's life. Her grandchildren, Gwen and Brooke, were the apples of her eye, and she cherished every moment spent with them.

Beyond her love for her family, Anne had a zest for life that manifested in her joy for reading, gaming, and the company of loved ones. Her laughter could light up a room, and her sharp wit endeared her to all who knew her.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Charleston Animal Society, a cause close to Anne's heart. Her beloved cat Kiki was a constant source of comfort and joy, and Anne's compassion extended to supporting animal rescues.

Anne's passing leaves a void that will be deeply felt by all who were fortunate enough to know her. Her legacy of love, laughter, and humor will continue to inspire and uplift us.

There will be a funeral and memorial service held at St. Ann's Church in Shohola, PA on April 8th at 11 AM ET, with lunch to follow after the service.
