She was born in Boston on Jan. 11, 1932, and was the daughter of the late Anthony and Augustina LoGiudice.
Anne lived her childhood and early adult years in the West End of Boston.

After her retirement in 1992, Anne and her husband spent 20 years of wintering in Florida, where they enjoyed daily walks and often golfing. Anne was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and friend who was always available for a cup of coffee and some chit chat. She was an avid book reader, often completing a book a week.
Anne was deeply religious, always saying prayers for everyone and never missing weekly Mass and in her later years when she couldn’t get to church, she’d watch Mass on her television.
