If you knew Anne, you knew what a special lady she was. You might've come through her line when she worked as a cashier at Winn-Dixie, or maybe she helped you pick out just the right produce during her time in the Harris-Teeter produce department. Or maybe you went to the old Cove Creek High School and were a classmate, a childhood friend from growing up on Dutch Creek Rd. in Valle Crucis, a fellow member at Rich Mountain Baptist Church, or simply a friend she made along her path in life wherever hers crossed with yours. If you didn't know her, you truly missed out. For those of us blessed to be family and friends, she will be greatly missed.
