No arrangements for a memorial service have been made at this time. In lieu of flowers, the family requests all memorials be sent to Belzoni Animal Rescue Kennel (PO Box 1015, Belzoni, MS 39038).
Anne was “mother hen” to all she met. Her favorite times were spent sitting on her front porch with Greg, cooking for her friends and family, and tending her beautiful garden. All who knew Anne loved her dearly and will have many special memories of her.
As Anne would’ve said.. “I sure do love ya.”
