Anne worked for some local business in Rainier; Oasis Restaurant; Rainier General Store; South Slope Feeders. Many wonderful friendships and memories were formed and continued through the years. In 1999, Ron and Anne moved into Brooks for their retirement. One of Anne’s passions was traveling. Anne, her mother Mary, and sisters, Helen and Vickie all travelled to Isreal. It was a trip of a lifetime! Other destinations she travelled to included New Zealand, Ireland, Mexico, Newfoundland, and many states in the US.
