She had such a wonderful wry sense of humor – I always both feared and respected her as our coach (our roots!). She was a saint for the many summer cheerleading camps she endured with groups of spirited teenage girls!

Billy Sweeney, a volunteer at Helping Hounds Dog Rescue and analyst at The Hartford Insurance Group, also offered his heartfelt condolences. He wrote,
I’m fairly certain she was one of my Gram’s nursing students. Such an amazingly sweet and kind woman, Anne was. My gram always spoke so highly of her and said that she knew “her babies” were always in good hands with her if we ever needed anything at school. May she rest easily.
