MA; stepdaughters Karen and Kathy Hansen of Sacramento, CA; grandchildren Jesse and Tyler Copp, Gabriella and Nicolas Sanders, Lauren, Ella, and Christopher Gardner; great-granddaughters Piper and Paxton Copp. Anne’s family wishes to thank the staff at the Studley Home and Cornerstone VNA for the loving care she received from them in her last weeks.
