My condolences to Anne’s family. She was such a ray of light and her kindness got me through many tough days. We would occasionally walk our dogs together at MSH. She saw me through my pregnancy, walking the day before my daughter was born, carting around a newborn and more recently chasing my now almost 2 year old around the dog park. Always with a smile and kind word as she checked in on me and my family. She will be sorely missed.
I enjoyed working with Anne on our last three Wellesley High School reunions. She loved getting to be with her many friends and classmates and would have been happy to have come together in a barn or field or anywhere people could have come together. The venue didn't matter, the people did. Somehow I thought Anne would outlive us all. We will all miss her.
My Deepest Sympathy to Annie's Family!!
What a shock it was to see that she had passed on our high school email.
We met in 1951. Her father built our house in Wellesley.
We saw each other many times over the years; even when Doug and my daughter were quite young.
Last year Annie showed me and Deb, another 1951 friend, pictures from her trip to Africa.
The three of us were planning to get together sometime this summer.
I will never forget Annie, such a dear friend!❤

I was so saddened to hear of Annie's passing. I have been remembering all the times we were together when Ali was in my child care. I met Annie when Alison was just two and she spent several years with me. Remembering Win and searching treasure maps at the kitchen table, a joyous time at Doug and Dawn's wedding, and watching Ali, my son, David, and Heather Ingram grow up together. Anne was a warm , caring person and a special friend. She will be missed by many both near and far. My thoughts and prayers are with all of your family Pat Sjogren

As a member of the Millis conservation commission, I had the pleasure of spending time with Ann and learned a great deal from her. I always found myself agreeing with her opinions on different issues regarding the preservation of Millis' important wetlands. She always had the protection of the environment in mind and made sure to voice her thoughts at each meeting. She inspired me to stand by my beliefs and to be the voice for those without a voice. I am so grateful to have met Ann and I know her legacy of environmental advocacy will inspire many to continue this important work.

My heartfelt condolences. I loved knowing Anne- she was warm and kind and a wonderful friend to my mom. I will always remember her so fondly.
My sincere condolences to your family. I enjoyed getting to know Anne on the board of the Upper Charles Conservation Land Trust. Her smile and energy were infectious and her commitment and passion for open space and conservation were inspiring. She will be dearly missed.
Alison & Doug and your extended family we are sending our sincere condolences in your loss of your Mom. She was such a wonderful sweet human being and she will be remembered and missed by many who knew and loved her. May she Rest In Peace. Gina & Rick Tarara and family.
Memories of Anne will never overcome my sense of loss, but they are treasures nevertheless; swimming at Sandy Bottom on Lake Waban,
hiking Adirondack mtns., dog walks with Anne and Beau, watching a Patriot's game together( what a fan she was! ), all these and many more provide succorance in this time of grief.
Anne, my dear cousin, you were the best!

Heartbreaking news of Anne's sudden passing. I am in shock and will miss her humor, wisdom and wonderful smile. We spent lots of hours together at various Millis Board meetings, most recently together on the Community Preservation Act Committee. She was a dedicated town volunteer and made attending these night committee meetings, bearable with her wit and charm. Love to her extended family. I will miss her :(
I’m so sorry for your loss. Anne was a gentle, kind woman and a caring friend. She will be greatly missed.
