Anne attended the Grandview school system in Columbus and attended art school in Cincinnati. She began her career at Cussins and Fearn in Columbus.  She moved to Cleveland and worked for Halle Brothers Department Store before having children.  Eventually, she went back to work as an advertising artist for Name Brand Furniture. Anne also used her artistic talents to start small businesses Campus Cakes, where she baked and decorated personalized birthday cakes, and Fancy Feet, offering custom-painted sneakers, both of which catered to local college students.

Anne was active in the community as a 45-year member of the Hillcrest Art Guild, an organization of artists who wished to continue their artistic talents, passion and skills. She volunteered at Ridgebury Elementary School creating bulletin board displays for the library.  Anne was also a longtime parishioner at St. Clare Catholic Church.  Anne lived a long and happy life. She will be remembered by her family and friends as a good citizen, and a woman of integrity, strong faith, love and kindness.
