Anne was a graduate of Taunton High School and received her bachelor’s degree at The University of Connecticut. She was a physical therapist and went on to head the physical therapy departments at Paul A. Dever State School in Taunton, and Wrentham State School. She cared deeply for the residents there and championed adaptive equipment and initiatives. She was a natural healer who became certified in cranial sacral therapy to improve the quality of her patients' lives.
Anne was an active member of St. Thomas Church in Taunton. She was a volunteer and longtime supporter of the Girl Scouts, including serving as a troop leader during her daughter’s years in scouting.
