Anne was a business woman for over 50 years, including for 15 years as a bookkeeper and accountant at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Atlanta, GA, and over a decade as the office manager for Savannah Oncology Group. She also was a shrewd investor in real estate. Anne loved spending time with Pearce going crabbing, fishing, and kayaking.
