Anne,
You will forever be the bonus sister I was blessed to meet eighteen years ago. Your heart was as big as the universe and you will forever be remembered as someone who was there for everyone who needed help or support. I only wish the love we all have for you could’ve broken through your pain. I love you forever, Canada.

You were a friend since Grade 7 at Plainfield Central School. Despite the many moves and places our lives took us you remained one and I am gutted by your pain and departure from this life. But I understand. I hope you are flying free. I will always remember the laughter – we would split our sides!
Your grace and sense of humor and creativity will be remembered and missed by many. My sincerest condolences to your family as they navigate this difficult path.

I’m so sorry to hear about “Annie.” I grew up around Ann and the family in the 90’s. She was always smiling, even when she drove the old red Toyota Starlet. She was so happy when she got the Mazda Protege. When I think of those days growing up in the Campbell’s house, one thing really still makes me laugh. Ann and Missy using Mr Campbell’s razors. How did he know!?? Bill would say “who used my razors?!!!” We’d all laugh and the girls would never admit to it. Our faith tells us we will meet again Ann; When we do, I want a hug from you and one from “Saint Nicholas of Moosup.” Bill, Naomi, Bill and Melissa Jean, I’m so sorry . Annie will be in my prayers . Love Tony in Wolcott

Please accept our heartfelt sympathy. Anne’s smile reflected her boundless love. I admired her humor. She arranged a visit to the Worcester Art Museum to share her love of Art with the Boy Scouts. With grace and patience, she would teach Art to a group of active boys. It was my honor to have known Anne. Prayers for your family, Anne, and her boys.

I am so sorry. I don’t really know what to say. So many hours at the town beach when the kiddos were little, on the sidelines of soccer fields when they were a little older, and more recently crossing paths with Anne and Austin at the gym…
My heart goes out to you all.
Erin Abrams
Anne would always show up for her friends. She knew if a friend was passionate about a cause or to change awareness against unjust thoughts she was the first to show up in support.
I will miss our many conversations about “all things.”
Bless her family with joyous memories!
Becky Lambert
I will always remember Anne for her smile, kind heart, fashion sense (she looked great in hats!) and mostly, for her complete devotion to & love for her kids. She was and will remain so loved and cherished by her tribe of friends.
My heartfelt condolences and prayers are with you

Anne was an honorable mother. She was so kind and friendly. When my children were young, I didn’t know many people in our community. Anne made me feel so welcome, she had a very warm heart. I am so sorry for her loss.

Thank you all for your share condolence’s of our daughter. She was one of a kind and when she was made, God through away the mold.

It was a pleasure to work and get to know Anne over the last couple of years in Putnam. Although a very quiet person she always carried a smile on her face and worked so well with our students. She will surely be missed not only by the students but also staff who knew her. My deepest sympathies and condolences to her family at this time.
Christie Frechette
I am so sorry to hear of Anne’s passing. As a periodic substitute at PES we spoke several times; often checking in with each other in the hallways. I’ll miss her kindness, her smile, and her sweet voice. It was a pleasure getting to know her. Her family is in my thoughts at this tough time.

I am shocked and saddened to just now hear of Anne’s passing. She was a beautiful soul I was fortunate enough to cross paths with when she volunteered her time and talent to teaching an art class for the residents at Pierce Memorial Baptist Home. She was so kind and patient with all of the residents and they loved when she came! My condolences to all of Anne’s family & friends.
NAOMI CAMPBELL
