Her son, Larry Jr. is deceased. Her brothers, Herbert and Richard, are deceased.
In 1947, Anne received her RN from Henry Ford Hospital School of Nursing where she was president of her class, and later received her BSN and MSN from Indiana University School of Nursing.
Anne dedicated her professional life to the elevation and enhancement of nursing care for critically ill children and their families. She was a visionary leader, and recognized the role of families in the healing process very early. She was instrumental in expanding family visitation in hospitals to 24-hours and opened the door for families to actively collaborate with the interdisciplinary team.
She began her career as a Public Health Nurse, and later served as Maternal Child and Health Consultant for Marion County, and Chairman of Nursing at James Whitcomb Riley Memorial Hospital for Children. She later became Director of Nursing at Indiana University Hospitals, and completed her career at Boston Children's Hospital as Vice President for Nursing.
Anne was also associate professor, Division of Nursing, at Curry College in Milton, Mass.; associate professor, School of Science and Technology, at University of Massachusetts, and associate professor at Boston University.
She was an active member of Sigma Theta Tau and Pi Theta Lambda. She was a member of First United Presbyterian Church, Bedford.
In 1989, Anne and her husband, Larry, retired to Beford and moved to Bloomington in 2006. She was a lifelong learner who loved to read, and she instilled that joy in her children. First and foremost, she loved to spend time with her husband, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and pets in retirement, and they loved to spend time with her. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
A viewing will be held at Ferguson-Lee Funeral Home in Bedford, from 3-5 p.m. on Tuesday. A Memorial Service is planned for August.
